Part III: Where We Are Going
This issue is the third in a three-part series celebrating the university’s 125th anniversary. As the year draws to a close, St. Edward’s looks to the future with a new five-year strategic plan. We always welcome your questions, comments and responses to the magazine. Please send an e-mail message to Mischelle Diaz, Director of Communications, at mischeld@stedwards.edu.
Under the 2015 strategic plan, St. Edward’s University will educate students for the opportunities and challenges of a 21st-century world. That means preparing our students to cross borders — both literally and figuratively. This issue’s cover photo was inspired by the idea that our students’ international experience starts on the Austin campus but extends around the world.
