Our Vision...
“To distinguish UWF as the premier creative, student-centered university focused on excellence.”
We dream large. We are proud of what we are. We don’t aspire to be like any other learning environment. Our university is an uncompromising original.
UWF is creative
UWF people are not here to merely to do what’s been done before. We have a culture that encourages people to test new ideas. Let your imagination soar, and we’ll give you an environment that nurtures your mind and your creativity. While others may fear change and are unable to cope with the unexpected, we anticipate change and are proactive in finding creative solutions to opportunities as they arise.
UWF is student-centered
There is nothing more important to our campus community than maintaining a personal relationship with each student. Every student is an original, complete with a name and a set of personal aspirations. Our job is to know both. Individual attention from world-class faculty and staff in a warm and caring environment is the essence of UWF.
UWF is focused on excellence
Excellence in all things is a given at UWF, from individual interaction with students to the transfer and application of knowledge through our teaching, research and public service.
Our Mission...
At UWF, we recognize that change is the only constant. Our mission is “to empower each individual we serve with knowledge and opportunity to contribute responsibly and creatively to a complex world.”
Our Promise...
Creativity, caring in its largest sense and intellectual excellence are not afterthoughts at UWF: they are intrinsic to the vision of this university and the people who work and learn here. UWF is an uncommon lifetime relationship that recognizes the entire individual, nurturing the mind and spirit to empower each of us to reach our goals in life. We are about providing individuals with opportunities for personal development and caring relationships that enable them to move on and ultimately realize their dreams.
UWF provides a unique alternative to large institutions and expensive private colleges. In a world filled with “the expected,” UWF never imitates.
