Workplace Values

“The society will foster communication, both internally and externally, in order to be democratic, fair, accountable, and accessible to its members. It will provide services students want and can use. It will cultivate unity and goodwill among its members, but will also encourage free and open debate, as well as respect for differing views. It will solve problems constructively.”

This mission of the Alma Mater Society is a vision that the organization takes to heart. The employees at all levels strive to better the AMS community through achieving the following goals on an internal and external level:

Honesty: Having integrity in the workplace. Sharing information in a transparent way to encourage open communication and understanding.

Effectiveness: Completing tasks in a timely manner while continually improving processes and encouraging others to find new and efficient ways to be productive. Maximizing contributions by being an engaged employee or officeholder.

Accountability: Being a valued member of the AMS and making ethical decisions. Understanding we are in an organization of learning. Not only demonstrating tolerance towards those who make mistakes but also taking ownership for mistakes made in order to learn from them.

Respect: Embracing diversity and sharing/teaching stories on culture and personal perspective without fear of being judged. Treating internal/external customers, co-workers, fellow officeholders, and peers with dignity and genuine acknowledgment.

Teamwork: Working collaboratively to reach the organizational/outlet/departmental goals.  Supporting each other and creating a culure of enjoyment and support.
