Watson Foundation

VISION The world is in need of more humane and effective leaders. By providing students with the widest cultural, professional and personal growth opportunities, we empower them to expand their vision, test and develop their potential, and gain the confidence and perspective to do so for others. VALUES "The little things we do -- or fail to do -- often testify louder than the loudest statements of our intentions." - Thomas J. Watson, Jr. Our values are the foundation of the Foundation. They are integrated into our strategy and programs, interactions with students and partners, and the design of our physical spaces. Trust and Responsibility We are accountable to others and ourselves. We build strong, respectful relationships. Service We develop people and solutions in service to the highest good. Highest Standards We seek the best solutions and keep our vision open. We stay at the front of our field.
