Operational Soundness
Operational Soundness Fund
Investing in NCWU’s Operational Soundness Fund is crucial for addressing the maintenance and repair requirements of aging buildings, replacing dilapidated equipment and ensuring the continued upkeep of current assets. Given the age of Wesleyan’s original buildings, most of which were completed in the late 1950s and early 1960s, it is imperative to prioritize the allocation of funds for facility and equipment maintenance. Ultimately, the quality of our systems and processes, the impact on a student’s Wesleyan experience, and ability to function efficiently as an institution depend on our operational soundness. These funds will provide the necessary resources to address routine maintenance, any potential problems and help to maintain smooth operations.

Strategic Areas of Focus for NCWU Operational Soundness
Maintaining facilities and updating equipment allows students to fully immerse themselves in their studies without disruptions. Endowment funds can be invested in the maintenance, renovation, and construction of campus infrastructure and facilities, including academic buildings, laboratories, libraries, and student housing. This enhances the overall campus environment and supports the academic mission of the university.
Ensuring consistent access to online learning platforms, campus Wi-Fi, digital resources, and minimizing downtime so students stay on track with their coursework.
Extending the lifespan of existing equipment through regular maintenance reduces the need for costly upgrades, ultimately saving the University money in the long run. Endowment funds support the university's long-term planning and sustainability goals by providing a stable and predictable source of income over time. This enables the university to invest in strategic priorities, pursue growth opportunities, and adapt to changing market conditions and societal needs.
