Board meetings and strategic plans from University of Mary
The University of Mary's 'Greatness Through Virtue' Strategic Plan aims to redefine the collegiate athletic experience by challenging contemporary intercollegiate sports culture. It focuses on virtuous leadership, whole-person development, academic and athletic excellence, new sports facilities, and a renewed commitment to scholar-athlete health, safety, and well-being. The plan seeks to return the traditional collegiate sports experience to its original focus on character formation, empowering student-athletes to compete with virtue, and making a unique contribution through distinction, service, and relationships. Core strategies include refined recruitment processes, enhanced academic support, virtue-based programming, optimal training resources, comprehensive marketing, an Institute for Virtue-Based Athletics, and a new facilities master plan, all as a component of Vision 2030.
The primary discussion revolved around the retirement of Bishop Zipl and his subsequent move to the University of Mary, specifically to the St. Joseph Residence for Men, where he will reside with the Bishop Emeritus and the Vocation Director. Significant renovations were planned for the student corridor and the construction of living spaces for the Bishop and Father Rector. Generous support for the project was acknowledged, particularly a lead gift from Alan and Karen Wolf, who have a long history of supporting vocations. Details of the renovation plans were presented, including floor plans showing the Bishop's new apartment, the Vocation Director's suite, and shared dining space, which overlooks the city of Bismarck. The space also includes a study for the Vocation Director to meet with interested young men, guest rooms, and accommodations for the Sisters, focusing on creating an environment conducive to prayer and considering vocations. The Bishop expressed his commitment to serving the community at the University.
