Through these efforts, the college makes manifest its reverence for history as well as its commitment to quality, the liberal arts and the fostering of beauty in the environment.

These programs include docent-led public tours of the mansion, concerts produced by the college's Da Camera Society, and an annual Curator's Lecture and Tea as well as a series of scholarly lectures and publications on the Doheny Mansion.
