A broad-based campus committee has examined data about The W, reviewed initiatives underway, listened to constituent voices, discussed areas of opportunity, and helped develop focus areas for the near future based on existing and potential strengths of the university. After review by the larger campus community, these priorities are now being adopted to help guide resources and efforts over the next 3-5 years.
