There's nothing magical about a mission statement that makes it impossible to summarize. It's not a law or something that must be taken literally.
In any event, organizational mission statements are generally POV and not encyclopedic. The mission of every school is to educate its students and make them into better, well-rounded citizens. It's not like it's an obscure NGO the purpose of which might be difficult to ascertain. Almost any fact about the school is more significant than its own promotional material, such as the number of students, size of campus, noteworthy events occurring there, notable alumni, notable professors, date of founding, institutional affiliations, etc. I wouldn't get hung up on the mission statement if I were you, particularly as it is already easily available on the school's own website. Good luck! -- But|seriously|folks  21:04, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Digital Media Institute

I don't think it's necessary to include the TM designation. There are many articles on companies and trademarked products on Wikipedia, such as Coca-Cola, and they generally do not include the TM. I think this article may run into problems though as far as notability is concerned. It would help if you could find reliable sources that mention the Institute and support the factual assertions in the article by citations to the sources. For an example, look at the way I added the enrollment figure to the college's article. (Although some might argue that the website I used is not sufficiently reliable to establish notability, colleges are generally considered notable enough to warrant an article. College departments may not be.) Good luck! -- But|seriously|folks  19:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
