The road to our 2025–2030 Strategic Plan
Our community is embarking on collective, critical work to define our institutional priorities, develop outcomes/activities related to each institutional priority, and ensure that our resources are aligned with our aspirations. Throughout the 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 academic years, we will develop a new five-year Strategic Plan to guide our institution from 2025–2030.
Planning Themes
- Creativity and academic excellence
- Increasing the endowment for need-based financial aid
- The residential student experience
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
- Sustainability
