Strategic Plan Survey: Your Ideas, Please

January 15, 2016

WaldschmidtHall150Vision 2020, a new strategic plan, will propel the University of Portland toward being its best: a dynamic, mission-centered, comprehensive Catholic university with a liberal arts focus known for its academic strength and preparation of world citizens through teaching and learning, faith and formation, and service and leadership. University president Rev. Mark. L. Poorman, C.S.C., has charged a committee with gathering the best and most strategic ideas to continue UP’s trajectory toward excellence, and that is where all University community members can help. He has asked for ideas to:

  • Sustain superb undergraduate education while advancing relevant new programming;
  • Expand rigorous, meaningful, self-sustaining graduate programs; *develop first-rate infrastructure, services, and facilities;
  • Infuse our entire community with a sense of multi-cultural opportunities and instruction;
  • Enhance our Catholic character and to enrich the expression of our faith.

Please assist the committee by responding to this survey with your thoughts. The survey will be open through January 31.

For more information contact Tom Greene, provost, at 7105 or staten@up.edu.
