Strategic Priorities
The Blueprint for Our Vision
The 2010 strategic plan set the direction for the future of St. Edward’s University. As the campus
expands and changes to meet the needs of future community members, university administrators and architects
have worked to sustain the spirit that makes St. Edward’s so special.
In Fall 1999, the St. Edward’s University administration solicited the input of faculty, staff and
students to help determine what steps were needed for the university to achieve the 2010 strategic plan.
The process identified seven strategic priorities for St. Edward’s University, which were endorsed by the
Board of Trustees in November 1999.
Now that 2010 is just around the corner and many of the initiatives set forth in the master plan are complete
or close to completion, university leaders will once again look to the future to determine how best to meet the
new challenges that lie ahead.
The recent launch of the university’s Global Understanding Initiative addresses the emergence of a global society
and the role St. Edward’s plays in better preparing our students for living, working and serving
in a world community.
As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, St. Edward’s is fully committed to providing
students with the knowledge, skills and orientations they need to successfully understand and navigate the global
society in which they will increasingly participate.
