Villanova University's treasured traditions and enduring values have brought us to the forefront of higher education. As we look forward to the 21st century, it has been this rich heritage which has inspired the members of our community to seek new opportunities, realize new potentials, establish new goals and respond in fresh and innovative ways to an increasing number of challenges. The strategic planning process in which we are now fully engaged is a means of harnessing our energies, thoughts and visions into a comprehensive, coordinated and relevant plan of thinking, planning and acting.
Our planning efforts are planted firmly in the Mission Statement of the University, a strong and vital document that has served to inspire and guide our institution for many years. Villanova Wildcats tickets In December 1991, the Board of Trustees approved A Future of Promise, the strategic vision of the University, providing broad direction and purpose for our future planning efforts. Since that time, each of the colleges and administrative units has developed its own strategic plan, reflecting the specific needs of its operations within the overall context of A Future of Promise.
As the strategic planning process continues to unfold, the importance of integrating the global vision articulated in A Future of Promise, A Future of Excellence, is by no means the culmination of our strategic planning efforts. Indeed, we must remain ever mindful that strategic planning is a dynamic, flexible process that calls for all of us to continually evaluate our efforts in light of the goals we strive to achieve and the challenges that we face. By its very nature, strategic planning attempts to help an institution not only survive but flourish in a changing environment. The publication of A Future of Promise, A Future of Excellence is but one step in our continuing efforts to rise to new heights of academic and professional excellence.
A Future of Promise, A Future of Excellence blends the traditions of our Catholic, Augustinian identity, the Mission Statement and the visions expressed in A Future of Promise with the specific goals and directions articulated by colleges and administrative units in their specific strategic plans. Using the goals outlined in A Future of Promise, this comprehensive plan is a further refinement of our strategic direction on a broad level, having considered the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and priorities of our campus community.
The essence of our strategic planning efforts has been the involvement of all members of the University community in using reliable and accurate data to make decisions and establish priorities. Our continuing planning efforts will emphasize the active participation of our whole community; participation in the development, discussion, review, critique and implementation of the strategic direction contained within this comprehensive plan.
Without question, the University is committed to intensifying its ongoing efforts to recruit scholarly faculty, provide undergraduate and graduate programs of the highest quality, attract bright and motivated students, improve instructional and living facilities, offer co-curricular programs to enhance student development on all-levels, beautify our environment, enhance our endowment and other financial resources, and meet the needs of our many constituents with the highest quality and efficiency.
Our initiatives are dedicated to securing the future of Villanova University and enhancing its ability to meet the role of providing our students with the finest education available. It is only through our combined efforts, our combined commitment, and our combined dedications that these goals become realities. Strategic planning requires strategic thinking and strategic action. I encourage all members of the community to participate in shaping our future - A Future of Promise, A Future of Excellence.
