Washington University developed a decade-long strategic plan called “Here and Next” to advance research efforts and extend community success to a global level.

The School of Arts & Sciences continues to make progress on planning and implementing what they have deemed “signature initiatives” as part of their updated strategic plan— a decade-long agenda to “build a top University.”

The plan will focus on five main principles: inclusion, diversity, equity and access, global perspective, stewardship, community impact and academic distinction.

Two weeks ago, Vice Chancellor of Students James McLeod stood in front of a group of University student leaders to present a strategic plan for excellence in the undergraduate experience, an initiative that was first released in March of 2008.
