Update (9/09)

After extensive campus feedback, in February 2009, we reported back on the initiatives you told me would help the Western community to reach its collective vision of Western’s future. Through the link below, you will find a report highlighting actions and studies conducted by people throughout the university, working together to define and implement these initiatives. The life of the initiatives will be organic, their implementation an ongoing process. We expect that some of the initiatives will expand and take on a life of their own. Others may be less robust as time goes on and our needs change. Through your efforts, responding to the expressed aspirations of the university community embedded in the 15 initiatives, we will move toward our goal to be the best public comprehensive university in the nation.
