Dear Westminster Community,
Winston Churchill once said, “If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.” That said, I am very pleased to share with you our most current and summarized Strategic Plan, which is bridging the gap between the past and the present, placing the College firmly in the future. I cordially invite you to read through the Plan with a spirit of adventure, as if you are examining a road map that will lead you to Westminster’s promising future.
We believe the “road map” before you is unlike some other strategic plans in higher education and business today. While it has become commonplace to talk about plans that “collect dust on the shelf,” this Plan, in contrast, is a living document. Our Strategic Plan is designed to evolve as circumstances change and opportunities arise, while simultaneously maintaining a firm commitment to Westminster’s high-quality educational experience.
Please take some time to examine our 99 total initiatives – 67 of which are in progress, while 11 have been completed – and share in our confidence that our annual goals, which align with our initiatives, are moving Westminster forward through 2028 and beyond. Please know the Plan’s progress is routinely tracked throughout the use of a thorough, data-driven dashboard.
For nearly four years, our Strategic Planning Team and many others thoughout the institution have worked very hard, in research and implementation, to deliver a Plan that bridges the gap between the past and the future. I, and we, firmly believe in this Plan, and we hope you will be impressed. Read further to see how we are ensuring our small college will make a big impact in the years to come!
Sincerely,
Donald P. Lofe, Jr.
President and Chief Transformation Officer
