Grand View University aspires to serve a varying, multi-faceted community of learners - students, faculty, and staff - in a welcoming environment so that each learner can achieve their fullest potential. Our objective is to foster and sustain a campus environment free from imbalance and/or bias, while also preparing students “called and empowered to serve the neighbor so that all may flourish.” At Grand View University, we adhere to the Lutheran tradition of being “rooted and open;” we value differing beliefs, backgrounds and perspectives and welcome and affirm the thoughts and experiences each distinct member brings to our community.
