Strategic Planning

Wittenberg will be the model of a liberal arts university in the 21st century, creating sparks that will light the world.

In his introduction to his history of Wittenberg, Harold Lentz observed: “The world owes much to its dreamers. Were it not for them we would ever be mired in the clay of yesterday’s commonplaces. No progress which keeps us up to date is possible except as someone looks ahead into tomorrow’s possibilities and then takes what is at hand to bring them to reality.” 

Drafting, revising, and implementing a strategic plan aligns well with Lentz’s words as the Wittenberg community now looks to embrace a new vision and works collectively to turn ideas into action and possibilities into reality on its way to becoming the model for liberal arts education in the 21st century.
