The University of Rochester's Warner School of Education and Human Development believes education can transform lives and make the world more just and humane. This concept is vital to the University of Rochester's mission of Meliora — to make the world ever better. In service to this mission, Warner supports students to:

• BECOME teachers and researchers who are knowledgeable, reflective, skilled, and caring educators who can make a difference in individual lives and their fields.
• GENERATE and share knowledge leading to new understandings of education and human development, on which more effective educational policies and practices can be grounded.
• COLLABORATE among fields, combining research, scholarship and practice to make a meaningful difference in schools and communities everywhere.
