Our Commitment to our Community
At WSU Spokane, we believe that the future of health education and care is diverse, equitable, and inclusive—for those who teach, research, study, give, and receive care—in every interaction, every day.
As a campus community, we are committed to actively closing opportunity gaps, reducing bias, and removing barriers for those we serve —students, faculty, staff, and all individuals across our state.
Our commitment is not just a vision; it’s a roadmap ingrained in every aspect of our strategic plan, informing our mindset, our work, and our decision-making.
Goals
1: Student Success & Support
Foster an environment of inclusivity, learning, and growth that attracts new students to the health care professions, increases student success, and develops a health care workforce equipped to address our community’s most pressing health issues from day one.
2: Research
Promote increased research in the health sciences across the university by providing a state-of-the-art, reliable, efficient, and effective research infrastructure.
3: Community Engagement & Partnerships
In collaboration with the colleges, foster partnerships and engage in communities throughout Washington to improve the lives of people.
4: Organizational Capacity & Effectiveness
Responsibly cultivate and steward all resources – physical, financial, human, and intellectual– to build a top-tier campus that enhances and supports the land-grant, educational, research, and clinical missions of its colleges and attracts philanthropic investment.
