The planning process that has led to our plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World , has carefully attended to The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents strategic plan as a set of guiding imperatives to help shape our role at West Texas A&M University as contributing components to The Texas A&M University System. For example, WT 125 articulates strong relationships between our undergraduate programs and the graduate schools and colleges at Texas A&M University. One metric stipulates, “20 percent of graduates who leave WT for post-baccalaureate study are accepted at Texas A&M University.” This is a single example of pervasive coordination between our aspirations and those of The Texas A&M University System.
We would encourage interested readers to view The Texas A&M University System Strategic Plan at: wtamu.edu/tamustrategicplan.
Included below are the six imperatives for the future identified by the System Strategic Plan. Correlations, similarities and mutually reinforcing perspectives flow in both directions. This consistency of purpose strengthens both West Texas A&M University and The Texas A&M University System.
While WT is a very strong university on its own, it will be a powerful Regional Research University when coupled with the components of The Texas A&M University System. This creates distinctiveness for both WT and the System.
