Thurgood Marshall College Vision, Mission, & Values

As Thurgood Marshall College celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2020, the moment presented itself as an opportunity to revise the College’s vision, mission, and values. This resulted in a four-year endeavor to ensure the College remained true to its founding principles in light of the significant social and institutional changes of the past half century. Undergraduate students, alumni, faculty, and staff (past and present) all contributed to this revision. TMC’s vision, mission, and values statement ensure that the College continues to participate actively in the ongoing growth and transformation of UC San Diego as a public university.
