1 2 THE SCRANTON JOURNAL STRATEGIC2000 PLAN & G O A L S 2005 A COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS

A CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE

FIVE YEARS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS In the fall of 1999, the University introduced its “Strategic Plan 2000- 2005, A Community of Scholars, A Culture of Excellence.” This plan, which contains ten themes with spe- cific goals, has guided the University for the past five years. In this issue of the Scranton Journal, the University is pleased to present highlights of key accomplishments that have been made against the goals set forth at the beginning of the new millennium. As the 2000-2005 plan came to a close, the University began to develop a new Strategic Plan for 2005-2010, which will be unveiled this fall. For additional information about the University’s Planning initiatives, visit the Planning, Assessment and Institutional Research Web site at www.scranton.edu/planning.
