The plan embodies SJU’s two-fold desire to underscore and expand on existing strengths while always seeking new opportunities. Initiatives include the expansion and development of new academic programs and professional schools, most immediately in the health and education fields, along with a revision of the campus master plan and the growth of resources and national recognition for signature academic, athletic and co-curricular programs. Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Jeanne F. Brady, Ph.D., and Vice President for Finance and Administration and Treasurer David R. Beaupré led an 11-member steering committee that included representatives from all areas of the University. President Mark C. Reed, Ed.D., describes Thinking Anew, Acting Anew as “a guiding plan, not a micro-plan.” “It is meant to steer our endeavors, while never narrowing our possibilities,” he says. “With full acknowledgement of the impact of our decisions today on our long-term future, we will advance some initiatives quickly. Others will evolve over time. To succeed in this increasingly competitive market, we cannot become comfortable. This plan challenges us to raise our collective expectations.” EXCERPTED INTRODUCTION FROM THINKING ANEW, ACTING ANEW Thinking Anew, Acting Anew: The Strategic Plan for Saint Joseph’s University reflects the context of our times, the commitment of the SJU community and the reach of our aspirations. SJU is fortunate to be forwarding the initiatives outlined in the plan from a position of strength — with an impressive academic portfolio, financial health, desirable alumni outcomes and loyalty, and significant faculty and student achievement.

Good morning and welcome to the Diamond City of Wilkes-Barre, PA and to this special gathering of its very own Wilkes University. I am pleased and humbled to have all of you here, especially those of you who traveled some distance to be here today. It means a great deal to Wilkes University and to me. Thank you very much. Let me also thank in a special way my greeters – colleagues and friends all – for their kind words of support. Before I go any further, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my family who is here today. First, please welcome my beautiful wife of 17 years, Amy. Amy agreed to pick up and move to Northeast Pennsyl- vania eight years ago so I could pursue a dream to work in higher education. I probably shouldn’t state this so publicly, but I owe you. Next, I am pleased to have here today the part of my life of which I am most proud, my children: my girls – Grace and Molly – and my boys – Jack and Brian. Molly, my 11 year old, took me aside this summer and told me: “Dad, I would like to be known as the “president’s daughter.” What about Grace I asked? “She can be known as the president’s daughter’s sister.” I am thrilled to have both of them here.

  • AJCU Presidents' Statement – January 2013
    AJCU Presidents’ Statement – January 2013 e, the undersigned presidents of Jesuit colleges and universities, support the following statements in regard to the presence of undocumented individuals as W students within our institutions: First, that Catholic Social Teaching is clear in its insistence that every human person deserves dignity and the opportunity to better one’s state in life. Catholic Social Teaching supports the solidarity of interdependence and interconnection within the human community that allows a human being to flourish intellectually, socially, and spiritually. We oppose public policies that separate human families living peaceably in our midst, especially those involving students and/or minors, and urge all citizens to recognize and support those inhabitants of our nation who seek to contribute more fully to civic life and the common good through education and personal development. Second, we recognize that the history of Jesuit institutions of higher education in this country is inextricably linked to first- and second-generation immigrant populations. Our schools have in the past been unique places of opportunity for some of the most disenfranchised and marginalized members of American society. Our own 2010 AJCU mission and apostolate statement makes clear that we “prioritize the education of these often vulnerable and underserved students,” as does the same year’s vision statement of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, in which we, as member institutions, “stand in solidarity with migrants, regardless of their immigration status.” We pledge to continue to respect this tradition and to foster cura personalis, care for the entire person, as a hallmark of our institutions of learning.
