Strategic Plan 2025-2030
Tomorrow’s WesternU Begins Today
“Today is your opportunity to build the tomorrow you want.”
― Ken Poirot
Tomorrow is no longer a place on the horizon—it is the promise we’re shaping today. At WesternU, tomorrow lives in every lecture, every lab, and every act of care and curiosity. It is written by the hands of students who dream, faculty who inspire, staff who uplift, and communities we serve with purpose. It calls us to imagine boldly, act with purpose, and lead with humanism.
As a community of healers, educators, scholars, and innovators, we hold the responsibility to not only imagine what tomorrow can be—but to build it with intention, integrity, and purpose. Tomorrow will demand innovation, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to health and healing.
To date, stakeholders from all five branches of governance have collaborated to establish a framework for our future. Together, they have identified three Strategic Priorities that are essential for the university’s success and sustainability. These focus areas will serve as the foundation for Tomorrow’s WesternU Strategic Plan.
Today, we are engaging all members of the WesternU community to embrace this framework, envision Tomorrow’s WesternU, and help us chart our path forward. Leading this initiative is the WesternU Strategic Planning Committee, which is committed to a rigorous timeline and dedicated to capturing the collective vision for the future of WesternU.
The future of our university—and the future of healthcare—begins with what we choose to build today for tomorrow. And we are ready.
