A new vision and mission for Wesleyan University—Philippines have been formulated and adopted by Management and the Board of Trustees after a thorough and serious consideration of the new thrusts of the present administration underscoring the role of the United Methodist Church in the life of the institution.

The shift from the old vision and mission to the new one was made possible during a two-day roadmapping seminar sponsored jointly by the Office of the President and the BOT held on November 5-6, 2009 at the HRIM Function Hall.

Facilitated by invited guest lecturer and speaker Mr. Bing Ocampo, the group composed of deans, heads of units and several faculty members brainstormed on the subject identifying the components that should be included in the new Vision Mission without altogether altering the original.

The old statement, according to the President has been “enriched, redefined, and streamlined to capture the essence not only of the Vision-Mission but that of the new University seal.

From the old vision “to seek the unity of piety and learning in human formation,” the new vision reads: “We envision God’s reign through a Christian institution of learning inspired by Methodist traditions for the transformation of society.”

Meanwhile, the former university mission states that “The university emphasizes academic excellence, forms Christian character and motivates commitment for Christian service and responsible citizenship and nation-building in the community of nations.”

The new Mission states:”To participate in the transformation of society through academic excellence and service sustained by Christian values.” ###
