TC Commitments: Vision and Action


We are pleased to share our TC Commitments Vision and Action Plan, which reaffirms our mission, and articulates values, vision, and initiatives that will help us bring our mission statement to life as we move forward. This plan draws on the series of dialogues with students, staff, faculty and alumni leadership that took place over the course of the 2023-24 academic year, described below. We are so grateful for the enthusiastic participation of our community members as they contributed to this document.

We see this document as a living, breathing set of commitments that we make to each other and to which we hold ourselves accountable as we pursue our areas of research and practice in education, health, and psychology--all with a focus on impact.
