  • Strategic Review 2008 to 2018 Final 032117
    William & Mary Strategic Review: 2008-2018 More historic perspective will be needed to fully assess the impact the changes made in the last decade will have on William & Mary’s trajectory. But even now there is substantial evidence that the improvement will be significant, and that William & Mary is poised for even greater, sustained excellence. As President Reveley noted in his 2016 annual report, “… the nation’s distinctive ‘Public Ivy’ Keeps pushing toward what we want to become, not simply what we want to maintain.” William & Mary is increasingly Known not simply as a “preeminent liberal arts college” but as a “leading research university driven by the beating heart of the liberal arts.” President W. Taylor Reveley, III’s tenure began in 2008 and is scheduled to extend through 2018. This review of that decade anticipates the search for a new President to assume office in July 2018 and the ultimate strategic planning that will be undertaken when the new President arrives. The goal is not to provide a record of the progress characteristic of all great universities, but to sKetch areas of achievement in which William & Mary distinguished itself from its peers, areas that provide great promise for continued distinction. Over that decade, the central ambitions of the Board of Visitors, President Reveley and the team he led were to restore in this century William & Mary’s preeminence in American higher education and to achieve excellence in all aspects of the university’s life of the sort long typical of its academic worK. The university moved forward on several fronts to achieve those ends.
