The student-body (George-Raymond), scholarship advisers (deans), academic advisers, instructors, & cohorts
of The Haus are committed to creating a world where the potential of an Individual's Mind
isn’t hindered by self-doubt, demographics, meritocracy, socio-economics, political
uncertainty or threat of persecution.

Be The Expert Of Your Own Experience.

Be Radically & Purposefully Inclusive.
“Freethinkers are those who are
willing to use their minds without
fearing to understand things that
clash with their own customs,
privileges, or beliefs.
This state of mind is not common,
but it is essential for right thinking;
where it is absent, discussion is apt
to become worse than
useless.”
~Leo Tolstoy
Remain Discerning & Disciplined
Accountability is central to the acquisition, exchange, & application
of knowledge.
Be Brilliant, Audacious, & Unapologetic.
