Respect and Integrity Conversation
Core Value Conversation - Respect and Integrity Responses

Reflections on Respect and Integrity
October 28, 2024
Read the UMB community’s responses to the Core Values Conversation questions over the past three months.
Understanding the value set of Respect and Integrity:
- Respect can mean different things in different contexts, what does respect mean to you in the context of professional relationships and interactions?
- What does it mean to you to be a person of integrity?
- UMB defines the value of Respect and Integrity as “We value each other and hold ourselves accountable for acting ethically and transparently using compassion and empathy.” What does valuing respect and integrity look like in your school/department?
- At UMB, our values are more than words, they should be reflected in our actions. What is one example of someone at UMB treating you with respect and/or integrity and how did you feel as a result?
Exploring how you can be a catalyst for others valuing Respect and Integrity through your actions:
- What is one action you can take this week that would demonstrate being honest and transparent with others and inspire others to do the same?
- What is one action you can take this week that would demonstrate your adherence to the highest standards of professional and personal responsibility, even when no one is looking and inspire others to do the same?
- What is one action you can take this week that would demonstrate consideration and compassion for people and inspire others to do the same?
- What is one action you can take this week that would demonstrate you accepting responsibility for your actions and inspire others to do the same?
