- Development by educating, empowering, and encouraging growth through promoting life skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and risk taking, for not just the student body, but personally and professionally.
- Empathy by acting with compassion, kindness, and acceptance to ourselves and others, while inspiring the USF St. Petersburg campus to do the same.
