The mission of Warner College emphasizes collaboration and meaningfulness. Its vision sets an expectation for leadership and impact, as the College is committed to transdisciplinary research, learning, and engagement.

These will be achieved only when students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and partners feel connected to an extraordinary organizational culture. Warner College strives to be an organization where everyone feels supported and can advance to personal and professional success. We are known across CSU as a College with a strong community. This demonstrates the commitment community members have and reflects an infectious passion for working across disciplines to advance humankind’s understanding of the Earth and its systems and its ability to solve difficult challenges. With focused effort, we can harness our strong existing culture and build on it to make it truly exceptional.

Strong stewardship and growth in College resources are vital to success. This necessitates an effective and efficient administrative environment, successful attainment of program funding, and securing and maintaining high-quality space and infrastructure. Advancement activities are vital to provide resources beyond College-based funding and support programs, students, and facilities. Embracing and fostering strategic partnerships and engagement with campus leaders, alumni, community members, stakeholder organizations, Federal, State, and local agencies, non-governmental organizations, and policymakers can help extend the College’s resources and increase its impacts.

To address this goal, we will:

  • Remove barriers and constraints and enhance support for processes, policies, resource growth, and facilities for students, faculty, and staff.
  • Increase College resources so programs can achieve their funding and engagement potential, scholarships can aid students, and College facilities can grow and improve to meet the needs of faculty, staff, and students.
  • Maintain consistent engagement and communications among the College’s internal audiences and bring awareness to opportunities that encourage collaborations and resource production.
  • Support university goals for addressing compensation challenges and pathways for professional growth.
  • Create strategic partnerships to leverage College resources and increase our impacts.
