The Fisher Creed  St. John Fisher College
 The Fisher Creed
is a statement conceived and written entirely by Fisher students, and it
speaks to the basic values and aspirations of the students at St. John Fisher
College.
As students who have chosen to join the
St. John Fisher College community, we share certain basic values and aspirations.
In
order to be active participants in a shared living/learning experience,
we bring to Fisher:
RESPECT
for ourselves; for others, their ideas and beliefs; and for our community as
a whole.
OPEN-MINDEDNESS
to things that are new, different, and unfamiliar.
INTEGRITY
that will enable us to be honest, sincere, and true to ourselves.
By bringing these qualities to
our mutual experience, we help build a community that exemplifies
the following values:
DIVERSITY
of cultural backgrounds, personal characteristics, and life situations, all
of which we value for their contribution to our community.
RESPONSIBILITY
for individual actions and for their impact on others, and for creating accountability
by community members.
EDUCATION
with a commitment to scholarship, academic honesty, and life-long learning.
LEADERSHIP
in an environment that fosters active engagement in our community, displayed
through participation, mentorship, and service.
GROWTH
as reflected in continuous personal, intellectual, and spiritual development.
