Strategic Plan

ENHANCE BELONGING AND WORKPLACE CULTURE

At Mount Union, our focus has been and always will be on putting students first. Yet, no institution can be successful in the long run without employees who believe in its mission and understand their role in achieving it. We are committed to continuously improving our workplace culture to ensure an enhanced sense of belonging and pride for all employees. We stand behind the philosophy that when our people feel valued, they are better poised to play a critical role in the experience and success of our students.
