Foundation: 1971
Mission: In the service of knowledge, compassion, and social justice. Touro College was established in 1970 with the mission to educate, to serve, to perpetuate and to enrich the historic Jewish tradition of tolerance and dignity. Created as an independent institution that would support and strengthen the Jewish community, Touro has remained steadfast in its commitment to Jewish continuity and, more broadly, to humankind. Since its inception, Touro has served and supported diverse communities, making world-class educational opportunities accessible to all members of society, across all races, nations, and creeds. Our core values are drawn from our Jewish heritage and the Jewish intellectual tradition, focusing simultaneously on individual development and the greater good. Touro provides men and women an environment that nurtures personal growth and intellectual inquiry in superior academic programs. We also offer neighborhood-based programs that serve, and encourage service to, under-resourced communities. Our students in turn become accomplished, thoughtful citizens who share and perpetuate our belief in equal access to quality education, the treatment of all human beings with integrity and respect, personal and professional ethics, and the building of a responsive and responsible society. Serving as a roadmap to the future, our strategic plan is designed to assist the University in meeting its Mission and Goals and addressing the challenges of a rapidly changing higher education landscape. The Strategic Plan charts areas and opportunities for growth, as well as improvement.
Vision: The vision of Touro College is to be a premier institution of higher education, recognized for its commitment to academic excellence, student success, and social responsibility. The college seeks to provide students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for leadership roles in their chosen fields and for active participation in a diverse and dynamic society. Touro College aims to be a hub of intellectual and cultural activity, fostering an environment of inclusiveness, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving. The vision of the college is to educate students to become knowledgeable, ethical, and socially responsible citizens who are capable of making a positive impact on the world.
