UNIFIED, CONSISTENT SUPPORT
We will extend Career Services beyond the campus to embrace online and non-traditional students, and partner with faculty to identify the marketable skills students will gain in their academic courses. We will provide a means for students to compile these skills and use them to gain future employment.
Metric: Increase commitment to funding honors programs by 100 percent.
WORK ETHIC
The Texas Panhandle has long been known for its strong work ethic and resilient citizens. Traits like persistence, focus and goal-orientation as well as respect for chain-of-command have been marks of pride. But urbanization, affluence, technology and modern lifestyles are eroding this foundation. WT will reinforce these values and seek specific ways to encourage character development that is built around a strong work ethic. There will be at least two ways WT will build on this culture. First, expanding and integrating campus work experiences into the residential housing program will broaden the work experiences for more students. Second, raising the visibility of WT athletics across the campus and region will help deliver the message that hard work and commitment prepare students to be successful in life.
Metric: Be the leader among peer institutions in the percentage of students gainfully employed post-graduation.
Metric: Enroll the highest percentage of veterans compared to our geographic, peer and aspirant peer institutions and be a leading institution in the United States for enrolling military personnel completing tours of duty.
We will work to grow and expand our experiential learning program and leadership programs, developing relationships with external constituents and agencies to increase opportunities for leadership and internships and translate experiences into marketable skill development.
