University Strategic Plan
Now in our second century, Vanguard University aims to position our education programs and services, operations, and our campus and technology infrastructure for greater influence and impact in our region and beyond. We do so driven by our firm conviction that the Christ-centered education we provide transforms students and the communities they serve as graduates.
The Vanguard University Strategic Plan, Our Future, Together, seeks to guide the university in achievement of our institutional vision. This plan is anchored by three themes, each of which are supported by the objectives outlined in the plan. The themes emphasize the shared nature of the work head, as executing our strategic plan will be a collaborative process. For more information, click the link below.
