Institutional Strategic Plan

Juntos: Higher Education. Higher Purpose.
Through the heritage passed down by our founders, the Sisters of the Congregation
                              of Divine Providence, Our Lady of the Lake University (Ë¿¹ÏAV) is called to a higher
                              purpose. That higher purpose – to transform the lives of our students and through
                              them create a better world – is the focus of our strategic plan.
President Chávez Enduring Commitment
Rooted in the Gospel and the charism of the Sisters of Divine Providence, Ë¿¹ÏAV declares its unambiguous and unwavering ministry: to end the generational poverty that grips our communities by equipping students to rise as leaders by earning wages that allow them to lead a livelihood based on their values in high-demand fields. We will set the lamp of Catholic social teaching high, so that our graduates illuminate workplaces, neighborhoods, and nations with faith and excellence. Anything less is unworthy of our calling.
