Our Values
Our Work Ethic - Constant and SilentWe believe in looking for opportunities to do research and share our work. Our reserachers are always working on a paper, a presentation, a project, or their terminal work. However, we also believe that while we're working on that, we do so quietly. There is a time to make noise and celebrate, but not while we're deep in our work. Our Community - United as LegionWe Are Legion. That's a catchphrase that also represents our entire ethos. We strive to create a safe space for all our researchers. We promote a culture where we take care of each other. We believe that our academic excellence is the result of our strong union and fellowship. |
Our Attitude - Humble and HungryWe are grateful for every milestone we reach. Whether it's a Micro-Paper or a book, a presentation at a campus event or at a top international event, we celebrate each moment with equal joy. But, we're not complacent. We celebrate and then get back to work. We start thinking of the next conference paper as soon as we've presented the last one. We know we can always do better, go higher, work harder! Our Expectation - Nothing Easy!!"Nothing Easy!!" is Dr. Berry's legacy to our Legion. We welcome challenges and accept the struggle as a possibility for growth. |
