Strategic Plan2025-30


A Collaborative and Strong Future for St. Thomas University

Dr. M. Nauman Farooqi, President and Vice-Chancellor 

There is an authentic purpose and pride at STU. We believe that education can not only transform lives, it can change the world. 

 

Since 1910, the belief that individuals from every background deserve the opportunity for higher education has propelled our development. And we have the drive to be bolder and more innovative. 

 

The strengths of a STU education are the human knowledge and skills that are timeless—critical thinking, creativity, empathy, and adaptability. Through this plan, we will reimagine STU, delivering a transformative education that is vital for each student and essential to society.
