LEARN ABOUT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY HERE AND NEXT: A GLOBALLY INFORMED,
COMMUNITY-DRIVEN VISION FOR ACADEMIC DISTINCTION
Teaching students today who will transform
the world tomorrow.
During the 2021-22 academic year, the Division of Student Affairs engaged in a robust strategic planning process.
Led by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Dr. Anna Gonzalez, five defined anchors emerged: Career Development; Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion; Healthy Excellence; Leadership; and Student Engagement & Belonging. The Student Affairs strategic plan is the first in WashU history to be approved by the Board of Trustees. This plan is instrumental to WashU being a leader in providing a 21st century higher education experience to students.
We are WashU:
Impact every student…
Inspire a transformational experience…
Create our leaders of tomorrow…
