Transformational Collaboration

Build APU’s leadership structure to promote and sustain a newly unified and collaborative approach to transformative University development and impact.

“For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.”
Romans 12:4-6

APU has experienced significant growth during the last few decades due, in part, to successful entrepreneurial and resourceful institutional development strategies. The lack of strategic, sustainable organizational and collaborative leadership and management initiatives and programs pose a challenge with this type of growth. Through Renewal, APU must evaluate and revise the leadership and academic structures to best optimize future strategic planning, resource development, management, and the changing needs of a diverse student body. APU will retain the spirit of entrepreneurial collaboration currently enjoyed across campus while focusing on vibrant shared governance employed by successful universities.

• Academic structure, strategy, and portfolio focused on the next generation of students
