INNOVATIVE LEARNING ORGANIZATION
Leadership Development Program
Establish a progressive leadership development program that builds a pipeline of skilled, proficient, culturally adept leaders who will further enhance Scripps’ academic and operational excellence and strengthen its culture.

Curricular Community Engagement
To be successful leaders and engaged citizens, our students must participate in productive work with the broader community and develop the skills to think innovatively about the challenges facing members of our local community and our world, so that as graduates they can fully contribute to society through leadership, service, integrity, and creativity. Given the expertise of our faculty, the academic strength of our students, and our proximity to both the Los Angeles area and the Inland Empire, we are ideally positioned to provide the bridge between societal needs and interdisciplinary academic knowledge through critical, creative, and innovative thinking. This curricular community engagement initiative focuses on development of community engagement courses and strengthening existing and launching new partnerships and collaborations with local organizations.
