OUR MISSION

The School of Family Life is committed to enhancing the quality of life of individuals and families within the home and communities worldwide. Accordingly, the mission of the School of Family life is to:
  • Provide instruction that fosters commitment to the principles in The Family: A Proclamation to the World.
  • Conduct research that contributes to the understanding and enhancement of human development, temporal well-being in the home, and marriage and family relationships.
  • Help students develop the attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and skills that characterize persons of positive influence—in their own marriages and families, in their professions, in church and public service, and other personal relationships.
  • In the School of Family Life, we are committed to creating a community of belonging that provides all persons the opportunity to thrive. You can find our statement on belonging here.
