The Ohio Dominican University Strategic Plan
Dear Friends:
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the entire Ohio Dominican
University community, I present to you our Strategic Plan, “The Path to
Preeminence.”
The Strategic Plan reflects the goals, strategic intents and critical
outcomes for Ohio Dominican University and addresses the critical
needs of the University over the next five years. This Strategic Plan was
developed through a collaborative process led by the University’s Planning
Council, which is comprised of representatives from the constituencies of
the campus community – faculty, staff and students.
Initial drafts of the plan were shared widely throughout the campus
community through a series of open public sessions and an online process
for reaction. These opportunities for feedback not only invited critique of
the draft plan, but also solicitation of any new strategic intents or critical
outcomes. This “bottoms-up” process strongly encourages innovation and
risk-taking in our approach to achieving Ohio Dominican’s vision, which is
to become one of the nation’s preeminent Catholic universities. The final draft of the Plan was presented to the Board of Trustees for
review and approval. The Strategic Plan was approved by the Board of
Trustees on May 12, 2006.
While the Strategic Plan provides a roadmap for the next five years at
the University, it is assessed and updated every two years. The frequency
of the process ensures that the Plan remains current and is responsive to
changes within Ohio Dominican and throughout the community.
I encourage you to read on to learn more about Ohio Dominican
University’s mission, vision, values and goals, and the specific steps we are
taking as a community to successfully meet the educational needs of our
students while moving forward on the Path to Preeminence.
Sincerely,
The Most Reverend James A. Griffin
Interim President
Ohio Dominican University
