Our Mission

The mission of the RCAH is to weave together the passion, imagination, humor, and candor of the arts and humanities to promote individual wellbeing and the common good.

Students, faculty, and community partners in the arts and humanities have the power to focus critical attention on the public issues we face and the opportunities we have to resolve them. The arts and humanities not only give us the pleasure of living in the moment, but also the wisdom to make sound judgments and good choices.

The mission, then, is to see things as they are, to hear things as others may, to tell these stories as they should be told, and to contribute to the making of a better world.
