A Word About TWU's Strategic Plan

Dr. Ann Stuart, Chancellor and President Dear students, faculty, alumni and friends of Texas Woman's University,

Today, Texas Woman's University is taking the first steps toward a stronger future as we begin a year-long strategic planning process.

Enrollment is at an all-time high. Facilities and technology are greatly improved. Salaries for faculty and staff are increasing. Fundraising - including $35.5 million to date for the new Houston Center campus - is growing. Our academic standards and reputation are on the rise. Clearly, TWU is ready to move from being a good university to becoming an excellent one.

To reach the next level, we must answer some important questions: How big do we want to grow, where do we want to grow, how do we want to grow? The strategic planning process will help us find the answers, and in doing so give a face to our future and direction to our decision making.

The theme for our strategic plan is "Think Success, Think TWU." This has been a successful recruitment theme for us, and it expresses what I believe is a key goal of the strategic plan: to achieve success and be perceived by others as successful.

I have delivered the charge to the Strategic Plan Steering Committee, and it can be found on this Web site. In the next few weeks, I will be sharing this charge with deans, department chairs, the Faculty Senate, Staff Council, Student Government Association, and faculty and staff in Dallas and Houston. Subcommittees will come together as needed to address specific issues and concerns. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends all will be involved in the process. Up-to-date information always will be available on this Web site, as will the final document.

We will not have a process that fusses around the edges of strategic planning. Nor will it be one that produces a document that only gathers dust. When we are done in February 2006, we will have a plan that will be the basis for all decision making at the university. And it will be used for just that.

This is a great opportunity for TWU. It is an opportunity for us to envision a TWU that is collaborative, dynamic, proactive, energetic and relevant. It is an opportunity to think big, think bold and think how to be the best we can be.

Warm regards,

Ann Stuart, Ph.D.
Chancellor and President
