Six Key Areas of Focus
The Strategic Plan addresses six key areas of focus, each of which builds on the institutional commitments articulated in the University’s Mission, Vision, and Values statements.
Inclusive Student Success
Commitment to providing an affordable high-quality, interdisciplinary education that is grounded in the liberal arts and prepares students for healthy, productive, and meaningful lives.
Diversity & Inclusion
Create and preserve an environment free from prejudice and discrimination, and take actions that affirm our commitment to inclusivity and diversity.
Teaching & Learning
Encourage and support faculty research and pedagogical innovations to ensure that we effectively reach a diverse group of learners and that our degrees remain current and competitive.
Strategic Enrollment Management
Support students who arrive in their first year, those who transfer later in their academic career, as well as those who return to school as adult learners.
Financial Sustainability
Balance the fiscal needs of academic programs, capital and facilities, technology infrastructure, human capital, debt and expenses, student programs and services, and operations while keeping tuition affordable.
Campus Community, Communication & Shared Governance
Work closely with all campus constituencies to ensure that organizational structures and communication strategies continue to provide opportunities for productive discussion and collaboration.
