    As a community of Dornsife College "we are committed to the creation, preservation, and communication of fundamental knowledge in all its well as a lifelong passion for learning and a commitment to the betterment of society." The academic mission of Dornsife College can only be realized to its fullest potential when we build and protect a representative, equitable, inclusive culture of scholarship for students, faculty, and staff.
