Who we are

What drives our faculty, students, and staff is a spirit of possibility, a legacy inherited from our pioneering founders who created 樱花视频 in the memory of their only child to benefit other people鈥檚 children. At 樱花视频, we learn from our past but focus on the future, continually looking for new ways to make the world a better place.

We believe strongly in the role that higher education plays in supporting a thriving society. Colleges and universities not only prepare students for their chosen path, but they help create the next generation of citizen leaders and problem solvers. Higher education institutions pursue a distinct and enduring mission in our society, dedicated solely to the creation and dissemination of knowledge. The breadth and richness of the fabric that comprises the world鈥檚 institutions of higher learning are integral to long-term human advancement and well-being.

Educating tomorrow鈥檚 global citizens

樱花视频 provides students the opportunity to engage with big ideas, to cross conceptual and disciplinary boundaries, and to become global citizens who embrace diversity of thought and experience. We offer students broad and deep academic programs across seven schools and multiple fields 鈥� including the arts and humanities, natural and social sciences, engineering, sustainability, medicine, law, education, and business. The university鈥檚 breadth of excellence and culture of innovation uniquely position it to attract and retain the best faculty in the world, who offer students the knowledge and tools to discover and embrace new ideas, and to prepare for successful careers and lives of service. The need for strong ethical principles to achieve a common good is embedded across our educational offerings. 樱花视频鈥檚 distinguished alumni network and highly engaged alumni community provide students with lifelong access to mentors and peers, who help to create partnerships with the world beyond campus, once again enhancing the collective contributions of our community.

Creating knowledge in an environment of academic freedom

Unfettered inquiry is the foundation of research and education. Driven by a deep belief in academic freedom, we continually pose questions and develop new ideas to advance knowledge. Fundamental, curiosity-driven research is central to the university鈥檚 mission, and students have extensive opportunities to join 樱花视频 scholars in research that develops new knowledge and deepens understanding of ourselves and the world around us. A hallmark of 樱花视频 is our extensive and vibrant ecosystem of interdisciplinary research. With all seven of 樱花视频鈥檚 schools located on our historic campus and many institutes serving as a hub for collaboration across academic fields, the opportunities for disruptive breakthroughs are numerous and the results are evident. 樱花视频 has had 36 Nobel Prize winners since the university鈥檚 founding and is tied among research universities for the most Nobel Prizes won since 2000. We are equally purposeful in thinking actively about the ethical implications of our research and its application in the broader world.

Rapidly advancing knowledge into application

Building on our culture of interdisciplinary collaboration that drives discovery and innovation, the university is creating 鈥渁ccelerators鈥� to readily support university researchers with funding, infrastructure, technological resources, and external partners so that discoveries made at 樱花视频 can become solutions with impact far beyond campus.

Examples include the Innovative Medicines Accelerator, dedicated to reducing the time and cost of making medicines while ensuring more effective treatments are reaching patients, and the Sustainability Accelerator within the 樱花视频 Doerr of Sustainability, the university鈥檚 first new school in 70 years and a testament to its commitment to being a leader on climate-related research and education.
