LEARNING IN ACTION
"One solution to many of today's pressing environmental problems is to engage students who might otherwise not be involved in science and provide them with the tools and critical thinking skills to become, themselves, engaged in society as educators. I am just one educator who may touch the lives of a few, but these students will go out into the world and teach many about making choices in their everyday lives."
Dr. Jim Oris
Associate Dean for Research and Scholarship
Professor of Zoology

Building
upon its long-standing commitment to excellence,
Miami seeks to implement a shared vision for
the future. Combining President Hodge's vision,
the five-year strategic plan, Miami's historical
focus on academic excellence, and contemporary
research on student learning, we offer three
key educational tenets to guide our practice:
- GUIDE STUDENTS to develop their own integrated belief system and identity, which prepares them personally and intellectually for lifelong learning;
- ACTIVELY ENGAGE STUDENTS in discovering new knowledge in a sequenced way to enable them to think critically, make informed judgments and act ethically;
- CREATE A VIBRANT CAMPUS LEARNING COMMUNITY that blends in-class and out-of-class learning opportunities and involves all educators in promoting students' learning.
