Plans
Though WJU talked with the former Mt. De Chantal Visitation Academy to rent, and eventually purchase the 160 year-old school's facilities and use them as classrooms, the facility's purchase by Wheeling Hospital seems to have ended such discussion. The school hoped to expand its graduate and health science programs, in addition to relocating the school's tutoring program (The ARC, or Academic Resource Center) to the building.
In the 2011–2012 school year, the university began the expansion of its fine arts programs. The university partners with River City Brass to offer instruction for its pep and symphonic bands. This music program also includes the establishment of a music major.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that follow’d,
And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“We for a certainty are not the first
Have sat in taverns while the tempest hurled
Their hopeful plans to emptiness, and cursed
Whatever brute and blackguard made the world.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“One who winks the eyes plans perverse things; one who compresses the lips brings evil to pass.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 16:30.
