We continually seek to be a transformative institution bringing voice to our shared values. In these times, this means deep reflection on who we are and how we serve students from all backgrounds.

THEME OVERVIEW

For centuries, Moravian has made a difference, and that mission comes to life anew every day through the amazing effort of each of you. Investing in our teams is critical. Additionally, to achieve our future aspirations requires an innovative use of technology and physical spaces that are adaptive and vibrant.

Chairs: Cynthia Kosso, Provost and Dean of Faculty and Scott Dams, Vice President for Enrollment and Marketing

Vice Chair: Katie P. Desiderio, Executive Director of Graduate Business Programs and Assistant Vice President, Corporate-Educational Partnerships
