Ohio Wesleyan University must align its resource base with its strategic objectives, particularly through the development of programs that allow students to connect theory and practice; the enhancement of facilities that offer more individualized, engaged, and small group learning; and the renewal of residential facilities in ways that create greater community on the OWU campus. This requires significant capital infusion into the OWU endowment and into the OWU campus, and it requires increasing net tuition revenue. These efforts will be enhanced by increasing engagement of key constituencies whose support is critical to fulfillment of this plan and, perhaps most importantly, by investing in our employees who devote their lives to Ohio Wesleyan University and whose work with our students ultimately leads to the realization of these aspirations.
The people who devote their professional lives to Ohio Wesleyan University are the institution’s most treasured resource. OWU seeks to attract the most highly qualified employees, retain the highly qualified individuals we have attracted, and develop employee satisfaction and morale that improve performance and create a sense of positive community spirit. To this end, we will ensure that our employees are compensated fairly, receive the training and tools necessary to be successful employees, and find satisfaction and fulfillment in their work.
Specific objectives include:
Ohio Wesleyan University benefits from the support of key constituencies who value the University and share its aspirations. We will intentionally address our relationships with and our support from each of these constituencies, with new focus on parents of current and former students, community partners, and regional and national charitable foundations.
Specific objectives include:
Technology is a critical resource with the capacity to support teaching and learning as well as all administrative operations. We will become an institution that embraces the best use of technology in the classroom and in our administrative work.
Specific objectives include:
The long-term financial strength of OWU and the ability to deliver on the promise of an innovative, life-changing liberal arts education requires significant growth in the University’s endowment. This endowment, when managed prudently and allocated strategically, will provide the resources necessary to educate a new generation of leaders.
Specific objectives include:
The implementation of a bold curricular and co-curricular initiative, complemented by investment in the campus and its infrastructure, greatly enhances the value of an Ohio Wesleyan University education and positions the University to strengthen its resource base by increasing net tuition revenue.
