Dear Members of the °®°®Ö±²„ Community,

Thank you to everyone who joined me for yesterdayā€™s celebration to formally unveil our new 10-year Strategic Plan. It was a wonderful way to kick off the plan with our internal community.

For those of you who couldnā€™t attend, we have titled our new Strategic Plan ā€œRooted. Restless.ā€ ā€œRootedā€ alludes to the Augustinian traditions that forged our community, and ā€œRestlessā€ evokes Augustineā€™s call to continuously move forward and ignite meaningful change.

In creating this plan, we recognized there are some things we do very well, some things we can do better, and some areas where we fall short and must improve. With that understanding in mind, the plan will focus on six core aspirations:

  • Maximizing the Impact of our Augustinian Tradition
  • Fostering a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive Community
  • Building an Ever More Connected Community
  • Advancing Innovative Teaching and Learning
  • Creating Dynamic Opportunities for Research and Scholarship
  • Propelling °®°®Ö±²„ns on a Path of Lifelong Success

Over the next 10 years, we will build upon our strengths and invest in critical areas to enhance the °®°®Ö±²„ experience for allā€”students, faculty, staff and alumni. Itā€™s an exciting futureā€”one that remains firmly rooted in our Augustinian values and driven by our restless hearts and desire to ignite change.

I invite you to learn more about the vision for the next decade by visiting the new Strategic Plan website at strategicplan2030.villanova.edu. I hope each of you will find your own personal connection to the planā€”as our community is the heart and mind of this effort.

I am confident that, fueled by common goals and a shared belief in °®°®Ö±²„ā€™s mission, we will make this future a reality. Together, we are the stewards of this great University. And together, we will better serve our students, our community and the world.

Join me in staying rooted. Join me in staying restless.

Rooted. Restless.ā€”°®°®Ö±²„ā€™s Strategic Plan 2020-2030.

Sincerely,
