1. A responsive and a timely educational approach to addressing public issues and solving the problems of Colorado citizens.

2. Collaboration with others in shared responsibility for defining problems, solutions and definitions of success.

3. Balanced, objective information and methods, based on research, delivered with integrity.

4. Equal accessibility to all constituencies honoring all viewpoints.

5. Educational outreach that is future-oriented, emphasizes transferable learning and builds capacity for informed decision making and action.

6. Inspirational, engaging, and innovative educational opportunities designed for lifelong demands and personal learning styles and abilities.

7. Focused, effective, and efficient educational programs aligned with the mission of CSUE.

Above all, we value and believe in the importance of educational programs offered through the Colorado State University Extension that contribute to an improved local and global community for the citizens of Colorado.
