Our Values
“As soon as I started, I knew it was the right thing to do. My Queens education has opened doors for me. Not only did our professors give us the information and resources to expand our knowledge base, they also challenged us as people and as leaders to really take an introspective look. That is something I didn’t expect and has been so valuable.”– Laura Cassidy, MSN ’12, Presbyterian School of Nursing
Service Is Our Motto
In keeping with our Presbyterian heritage and responsibility to society at large, our fifth and final value is Service, embodied by our motto: “Not to be served, but to serve,” or non ministrari sed ministrare.
Our motto captures the essence of our mission and values and serves as the basis for all that we do to become effective, philanthropic community members.
“Not to be served, but to serve” comes to life in our yearly mission trips to Guatemala, our partnership with an AIDS orphanage in Cameroon, our service opportunities with local homeless shelters, and more. These are just a few examples of how we serve our community, both locally and globally.
When you choose Queens, you choose the best in yourself.
