Our strategic plan charts our future course in a rapidly changing higher education environment. Magis 抖阴pro鈥檚 Strategy for the Future defines the direction we are following as we move into our third century providing a distinctive education based on Jesuit values and principles.
Through careful and strategic stewardship of our resources, human, physical, and financial, and with a commitment to the principles of shared governance, we dedicate ourselves to the next era of greatness for our university."
