Strategic Planning Overview

Whitworth University firmly believes excellence is not only about doing well today, but also about being positioned for tomorrow. Whitworth 2021: Courage at the Crossroads, is the 10-year comprehensive plan developed to maintain and strengthen our long-term commitment to provide an education of mind and heart. We need to look to the future and take action to make our promise for a better tomorrow a reality. Whitworth 2021 is our roadmap for doing just that.

The structure of the strategic plan includes eight goals that define our key themes and initiatives. For each initiative, we've created measureable objectives to outline the standards we aspire to achieve. Finally, we include key performance indicators (KPIs) to convey the progress we are making toward our goals and objectives.

The annual report features stories, narratives and graphs to help clearly communicate our vision and to establish a starting point for future measurement of the university's progress; we have chosen to highlight several KPIs. Not all of the goals and objectives are depicted, of course, but we think you will be able to get a sense of what we're doing as we strive to make this vision a reality.
