Shared Values Initiative Series

Please watch this video as the first step of our journey.

Over the next 6 months, USAC will embark on a path to acquaint ourselves with the Shared Values Initiative as introduced here in this video by President Kristina K. Johnson.

The Shared Values Initiative is intended to be the guiding principles by which we as Buckeye's approach our work. These principles set the foundation for the type of organizational culture and purpose we can achieve.
