Western Oregon University Strategic Plan 2024

A strategic plan is both aspirational and inspirational. It sets a tone and provides a clear framework that the university can use to set objectives and make decisions. This plan explains who we are as an institution as well as who we plan to be. It points us clearly and directly into a future that is student-centered and built upon clear core values. And it explains to everyone that WOU is an institution built on Education, Innovation, and Community.

This will be a living document that can grow and evolve as we engage in our work. We will learn from the assessment and evaluation of our actions, making timely and needed adjustments to ensure successful implementation of the plan. And we will be guided by our Mission, Vision, and Core Values.
