Innovate.
Pursue.
Unite.
It was an exceptional and unprecedented year for Villanova. The spring, usually a time of fast-paced activity, instead became a time of isolation, uncertainty and unsettling calm on campus.These months of upheaval and anxiety have created challenges but also have provided many opportunities to reflect on and appreciate how special the Villanova community is.
In 2019, we launched our new Strategic Plan, Rooted. Restless., which provides the vision and roadmap for the next 10 years at Villanova. While the unique circumstances of 2020 have challenged us in new ways, we are unwavering in our dedication to this plan and in our commitment to remain ROOTED in our Augustinian values and RESTLESS in our desire to ignite change.
We hold fast to our Augustinian Catholic identity while evolving to confront the challenges that face us. We are driven to INNOVATE, to respond to this unique time in history for our campus and our world. We are driven to PURSUE WISDOM, to carry out our mission to achieve knowledge that will advance the common good. And we are driven to UNITE, to better understand each other to form a stronger community.
