Six Challenges

We will focus on six challenges. They emerged from extensive discussions with all constituencies as the most important opportunities to advance toward our vision in the next five years.

1. Be a leader among liberal arts universities.
2. Build and support a more fully diverse W&M community.  
3. Develop an ever more engaging campus experience that inspires a lifelong commitment to W&M.
4. Implement a new financial model that can fund our aspirations.
5. Provide the administrative resources and infrastructure required for a university in the 21st century. 
6. Explain and promote W&M through a more effective communications structure and strategy. 

We will address these challenges by pursuing a set of related goals and implementation steps.
