Cheryl McConnell, Ph.D., provost and vice president for academic affairs, has reenvisioned the annual report process as a mechanism for gathering progress made each year in support of Saint Joseph’s strategic plan, Thinking Anew, Acting Anew. The process is currently being discussed by the University Leadership Council.

In light of the University’s USciences integration planning efforts, the upcoming year goals will focus on delivering Saint Joseph’s student-centered education, approved strategic priorities and integration-essential activities. More details to come.
