Since the time of its founding in 1840, Bridgewater State has remained steadfast in its commitment to empower individuals and instill in its students and faculty a deep appreciation for advancing the public good. These missions are at the very core of who we were then and who we are now. Our strategic vision and resulting priorities rest squarely upon this foundation — and our university leaders possess the foresight, experience and civic awareness that will move us forward along this path.

“Bridgewater State is a university with a mind and heart – a university that preserves the best of what we do while embracing change. While we are justly proud of our record, we cannot sit still for a minute. Our work is far from complete – and can never be completed! We continuously need to evolve how we fulfill our mission to meet the demands of today’s students and the changing needs of our communities. We need to do better, as the challenges before us are more daunting than ever.”
