VISION, MISSION, AND CORE VALUES
ELEVATING TO GREATER HEIGHTS
Vice President Rajan instituted six core values that drive the team's commitment to service. R&I believes in maintaining a positive and productive working culture. As we collectively strive to elevate PVAMU's research and innovation, we do so by upholding the following six core values.
Under Vice President Rajan’s leadership, the Division of Research & Innovation (R&I) staff collaboratively developed the CORE values as the guiding principles for the R&I team and an inspirational and bold Vision to elevate the university to the next level of preeminence. R&I’s Core Values and Vision helped the staff to remain steadfast through the challenges faced last year, including the a global pandemic, remote operation, a cyber-incident, and an unprecedented historic, winter storm.
While Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) championed through multiple obstacles, R&I remained committed to providing excellent service to faculty, staff, and students. Dedication to our core values motivated the team to put those words into practice in their daily operations. The core values serve as an unwavering reminder of the right path to the fulfillment of the vision. The R&I vision statement aligns with that of the university. R&I leadership and services are integral to the success of elevating Prairie View A&M to a designation as a high-research activity, doctoral-granting institution. We are encouraged by the trending increases in research proposal submission and grant awards secured by the research community.
By putting our core values and mission into practice, R&I demonstrated during a year of challenges that those developed statements are more than words but have served as a roadmap to perseverance.
