UNBOUNCE - MSMU Strategic Plan - Flipbook - Page 3
Message from the president
For the past 96 years, Mount Saint Mary’s University
(MSMU) has been recognized nationally for its academic
quality, community service, empowerment of women,
leadership development and commitment to social
justice. Our 2021-2026 Strategic Plan is a reflection of
our strong foundation and a blueprint for the path
forward as we embark on our next century of educating
and developing global leaders.
Our past, present and future are shaped by the mission of the Sisters of
St. Joseph of Carondelet — to respond to the needs of the times — and
our community has consistently come together to empower our students to
reach their highest potential, to better themselves and to better the world.
The past year and a half has been one of the most challenging times in
our University’s history. With tenacity, determination and a spirit of caring,
our community proved itself to be resilient and unstoppable in the face of
the Getty Fire in the fall of 2019, and now, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite these challenges, we continue to foster a community of excellence
and care. Our faculty and staff support our students’ academic and
co-curricular growth, and they lead by example. As we chart our path
forward, we will continue to invest in our students, to challenge them
and to inspire them as we prepare them to become leaders in both their
communities and the wider world.
Sincerely,
Ann McElaney-Johnson, PhD
President, Mount Saint Mary’s University
