<![CDATA[An institution of Catholic higher education as an academic community is tasked with protecting and respecting the dignity of human life.

Its vision leads to the formation of a community that is authentically human (humanum) and imbued with the spirit of Christ. Everyone involved in this higher education is inspired by the Christian principles and therefore is encouraged to live out their Christian calling in a mature and responsible manner.
