大學教育的主要目的在建立崇高人格，培養具有國際視野、在地思維及社會關懷 的領導人才。透過扎實的專業教育活動、通識教育多元均衡的學習，讓學生活出喜樂；最後藉由生命教育啟發學生生命的目的感，讓學生活出有意義、有價值的生命。在上述理念與脈絡下，國立雲林科技大學遂於2010年10月20日啟動生命教育種子教師培育，發展教師社群學習團隊。經過一年規劃、一年培育共學，生命教育於100學年度成為全校大一核心通識必修課程。國立雲林科技大學透過生命教育的推動，不僅帶動教師社群共學的機制，同時也協助學生為自己長遠的生涯鋪下厚實的基礎，產生自主學習的動力；期望培育富有豐富底蘊的人文素養、深刻關懷的社會實踐與理性客觀的科學精神，以及深厚扎實的專業知能的現代社會公民，庶幾符順大學培育人才、發展知識及服務社會的原始精神。
