A Path for Our Future: Introduction from President McCarthy A Summary of the Strategic Plan Strategic Imperatives Afterword: Where Does the Path Take Us? Financial Statements
As we always tell prospective students, one of the great reasons to come to Suffolk University is our location right in the heart of Boston. The Freedom Trail cuts through our campus and is a perfect example of the synergy between Suffolk and the city. Its also a wonderful metaphor, particularly when you look at whats been happening at Suffolk since October 2012, when we presented a new strategic plan to the entire University community. Since that time, faculty, students, staff, administrators, and alumni have logged countless hours executing the vision laid out in that plan. Now, its time for a progress report. How are we doing on this path weve mapped out for ourselves?
As youll see, we are doing extremely well implementing the many mandates included in the Strategic Plan. There is much still to do, but I want to share some details of our progress in this Annual Report. There are far too many updates to list them all, but the following pages provide some highlights. Also included are University financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year. On behalf of the administration, I thank the entire University community for working so hard to keep us on the right path and to ensure our success for the future.
