University Planning
Strategic Plan
Western New England’s most recent strategic plan, Strategic Direction 2021-2025: One University, One Vision, encompassed the following vision:
“Our vision is to be a ‘New Traditional University’ that is agile, grounded in professional studies, and enhanced by the liberal arts and mentored research, that provides graduates with the skillset and mindset to continuously create value throughout their professional career and assert their humanity in contributing to a global society.”
This plan effectively concluded with the 2024-2025 academic year. WNE plans to undertake a new strategic planning process after President Joseph Hartman arrives and begins his tenure in June 2026.
Campus Master Plan
A conceptual Campus Master Plan was commissioned in 2023 in order to develop a framework for growth, building renewals and to provide a basis for capital planning. The opportunity to implement the plan remains.
