The following are our guiding core values, embedded in everything we do and in the choices we make, big and small.
You are the stuff of stardust
Made up of the same atoms and molecules found throughout the universe. Yet there has never been and will never again be another you. Our lives are at once common and extraordinarily unique. Precious, wondrous, and infinite.
All people want a meaningful life
Beyond safety, belonging, and success, we all want the sense of fulfillment that comes with doing what we feel we were meant to do. We all share a deep desire to be useful in a way that matters to us.
The world needs us to be lit up
When we find “our something” (and help others find theirs), the joy has a ripple effect, impacting all those around us. .
We’re stronger together
We can achieve amazing things when we come together. Strong, diverse, equitable, and inclusive teams are smarter and produce better, more profitable and innovative results.
Our actions today will have an out-sized impact on our future
As humans we face immense challenges and STEM fields are at the frontier, growing exponentially to address threats related to climate change, social injustice, food insecurity, and water scarcity to name a few. What we choose to devote our time and resources to today will alter our existence forever.
