Inspiring Great Minds to Greater Purpose: One Year Later
Tuesday, September 15 | 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
University Center, Chancellor’s Suite
In September 2025, the University launched its strategic plan, Inspiring Great Minds to Greater Purpose, timed with the 50th anniversary of the canonization of its patron saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, reaffirming a shared commitment to the University’s Catholic educational mission.
One year into implementation, the University community is invited to collectively pause and receive updates on work underway across the plan’s five Strategic Pillars.
Throughout the morning, attendees will hear directly from University leadership, engage with representatives advancing each priority and have opportunities to connect with colleagues and ask questions.
All members of the University community are encouraged to attend.
