CORE VALUES: P.R.I.C.E. of SUCCESS
Herzing Universityās educational and organizational philosophy was founded on core values that constituteĀ the Herzing culture. These values are essential not only for personal development, but are also theĀ foundation for a successful, meaningful career. These core values; professionalism, respect, integrity, caring,Ā and engagement are encompassed in a framework called āP.R.I.C.E. of Success.ā In order to help eachĀ student develop and strengthen these qualities, they have been incorporated into the learning environment.
Students are expected to exhibit these behaviors and attributes in all interactions, inside and outside of theĀ classroom. Students who apply themselves and embody the P.R.I.C.E. of Success characteristics will moreĀ likely reach their full human potential.
These behaviors and attributes are also the foundation of our internal culture. Employees are expected toĀ exhibit these qualities in their service to students and other daily functions. In doing so, we are building aĀ culture that nurtures personal growth and potential. We lead by example for our students, enabling us toĀ coach and mentor students in their own development of these behaviors and attributes.
