Strategic Planning 2026-2031

The development of William Paterson University’s Strategic Plan 2026–2031 begins with a commitment to transparency, inclusion, and community engagement.

The Central Committee, co-chaired by Dr. George F. Kacenga and Dr. Amy Ginsberg, will lead a series of listening sessions and surveys throughout October and November to gather insights from every corner of the University.

These conversations will include participation from our colleges and staff, the Board of Trustees, the Student Government Association, University Council, Faculty Senate, Foundation Board, Alumni Executive Council, and College Advisory Councils.

We invite all members of the William Paterson community to take part in this collaborative process and to check this page regularly for updates as the plan takes shape.
