The Steering Committee

Each working group should frame its inquiries, exploration, and visioning through the following lenses or perspectives:
  • Boldness and imagination, oriented by the 20-year horizon for the vision, recognizing that differentiation, innovation, and excellence are essential in higher education’s highly competitive environment
  • Attention to the University’s Catholic and Marianist mission and values and the landscape of Catholic higher education, with particular consideration of the Common Themes in the Mission and Identity of the University of Dayton (2012)
  • Responsiveness to the demands of diversity, equity, and inclusion and the importance of global and intercultural learning and scholarship for an American Catholic research university in the 21st century
  • A realistic appraisal of the University’s absolute and relative strengths, potential, and limitations
  • Consideration of the responsibilities inherent in mission- and vision-based institutional stewardship
