AMDG 2030: A Strategic Plan for the Ateneo de Manila University

 When the Jesuits returned to the Philippines in 1859, they were missioned to proceed to Mindanao. Waylaid by political forces, they were instead asked to put up an educational institution in Manila, and thus was born Ateneo de Manila.
 
This “accidental” mission has now become a premier educational institution in the country and the region. From a small primary school serving Manila's colonial elite, Ateneo has grown into a full-fledged university, an institution with significant contributions and influence, through the work of its students, faculty, and alumni.
 
But as the world continues to evolve, so must the Ateneo. As we turn 160, we look back to our heritage and history, and at the same time, look towards a complicated yet promising future.
 
Keeping in mind the challenges of the modern world, and rooted in the spirit of "Lux in Domino," we articulate our goals as one university, which we hope to achieve by 2030. All for the greater glory of God - ad majorem Dei gloriam.
