Mission, Vision and Philosophical Orientation
The identity of this Catholic University rests in the "Espíritu Bolivariano" (Bolivarian Spirit), a philosophy designed by Mgr. Manuel José Sierra inspired by human Christian values and the ideals of the Libertador.
The Bolivarian Spirit sets as the institution's mission the integral formation through evangelization of the culture, constant research of truth through science and confirmation of the human values from Christianity for the good of society.

Famous quotes containing the words vision and/or orientation:
“No sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it. There they are gathered together, blinking up to it with such vision as they have, scanning it from afar, hovering round it this way and that, each cunningly endeavouring, by all arts, to catch some reflex of it in the little mirror of himself.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“Every orientation presupposes a disorientation.”
—Hans Magnus Enzensberger (b. 1929)
