  9. Our Vision for the Future Thus, we envision a strong and vital Moravian which, in the future will be • A community of the great embrace, welcoming men and women from all walks of life, locally, nationally, and globally; • A community of liberal learning, where scholarship, intellectual curiosity and creative expression invigorate all facets of our lives; • A community of service, which equips and empowers men and women to serve others with professional skill, grace, and integrity, including those who live out their lives on the periphery of society; • A community of wise stewards, who care for and enhance our treasures of heritage, people and place for generations to come; As such, Moravian will be a leader within higher education--a community of choice for students, faculty and administrators, a model of excellence.
