University Strategic Plan 2025-2030
This is Ateneo de Davao University’s five-year strategic plan (2025-2030), drawing inspiration from its motto fortes in fide—strong in faith.
The word fortiores carries this foundation forward: it calls the university to become stronger not only in faith, but also in purpose, clarity, resilience, and impact.
Message from the University President
Fr. Karel S. San Juan, SJ
We launch Fortiores 2030 with a robust spirit of faith and joy.
This document enshrines our voices, sentiments, and dreams as a university community. It captures the ethos of who we are and what we aspire to be. It magnifies our shared faith, beholding our future, together.
It also manifests our shared joy. Joy that arises from gratitude for 77 years as Ateneo de Davao University. Joy that fuels our commitment and courage to stay the course of our continuing mission. Joy that grounds our humble confidence in a gracious God whose accompaniment will see us through the next five years and beyond.
We echo our new Pope, Leo XIV, as he commenced his leadership in the Church profoundly as “a servant of faith and joy.” To be such servants of faith and joy for and together with our people is how we will be stronger, fortiores, in this blessed Jubilee Year of Hope.
May Fortiores 2030 inspire our journey together!
Message from the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees
Mr. Benjamin A. Lizada
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I express our full support for Fortiores 2030, Ateneo de Davao University’s strategic vision for the years ahead. Fortiores—“stronger”—is not just an aspiration. It is a recognition that we are able to look boldly to the future because we have been made strong by the leadership, labor, and legacy of past administrations and the entire university community.
This strategic plan builds on decades of mission-driven work in education, formation, and service. It reflects our commitment to deepen our Ignatian identity while responding with courage, creativity, and compassion to the needs of Mindanao, the nation, and the world.
We thank the entire university community for your contributions to this shared vision and roadmap. May Fortiores 2030 be more than a plan—it is our collective promise to become, in all things and together, stronger.
All for the greater glory of God.
