Principles of Civility: Pride | Respect | Progress | Ethics | Teamwork

We are a vibrant community of learners that thrives on its great diversity.  Our long tradition holds that all are welcome, all are important, and all can contribute.  This is our strength, our gift, our pride.  We strive together to grow, improve, and solve. The ideas and perspectives of others enrich and empower us.  We support one another with kindness, respect, and fairness.  Through our individual conduct, each of us has an impact on the success and prestige of our campus.

Pride: My College has a rich tradition of success and is very important to the community.  I will learn more about what makes Palm Beach State College great.  I am aware of the impact my personal conduct and choices have on others and on the College’s reputation and continued success.  I will be an advocate for my school and will behave in a way that contributes to its excellence.  I will be my best, caring for myself, others, and my school environment. 

 

Respect: I am important to the College community, as are all its members.  I will treat others as I hope to be treated, with kindness, fairness, and respect.  I will keep an open mind and promote the peaceful and civil exchange of ideas.  I will consider how my actions, language, manners, and appearance reflect on me and impact others. 

 

Progress: I am committed to working thoughtfully within this community to make progress, solve problems, and support others with a positive attitude and a resilient spirit.  I will fulfill my responsibilities with accountability and perseverance.

 

Ethics: I will maintain high standards and promote academic integrity.  I will do my share and take pride in my work.  I will behave professionally, ethically, and honestly.  I will have the courage to do the right thing.

 

Teamwork: By taking a job and/or a class at Palm Beach State, I have become part of a team.  We are all on the same team, and we are all in this together.  I will embody the collegial, can-do spirit.  I will communicate thoroughly, quickly, and politely.  I will support, help, and work with others to get things done for maximum productivity — and some fun!
