Identifying and Embracing Possibilities

The University Technology Strategic Plan is an exciting opportunity to not only improve operations across WSU for students, faculty, and staff but to envision the digital possibilities for the next decade and how they will shape each of our roles. This plan is not just about implementing specific technologies; it’s about creating a future where WSU thrives by meeting new goals, enhancing the campus experience, and building a stronger, more connected university community. 

By working together and supporting each other, we can make WSU a place where technology empowers us all, bringing out the best in our work, learning, and community engagement.
