Ohio State's Shared Values - Encouraging Personal Reflection

Ohio State’s Shared Values help us define who we are, explore what we are committed to, and navigate through difficult conversations and decisions. Our Shared Values have both a personal and institutional dimension. It’s important to reflect on how your individual values and behaviors contribute to creating a team culture that embodies the Shared Values of Excellence and Impact, Diversity and Innovation, Inclusion and Equity, Care and Compassion, and Integrity and Respect. 

Understanding our Shared Values on a personal level begins with exploration. Consider taking a moment to think about how your own personal values map to our Shared Values. What words and ideas resonate with you? What behaviors do you believe you live well?
