Leading for the Future: Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK Strategic Plan 2019-2024
Leading for the Future: Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK’s Strategic Plan (2019-24) is our roadmap to ensure that this institution will continue to thrive and provide transformational educational experiences to tomorrow’s leaders. It was developed through an extensive strategic planning process led by a committee and included students, staff, faculty, and members of the board of trustees. Our community extends its thanks and appreciation for the work of all those involved in the development of the plan. The full Board of Trustees approved it in October 2019.
Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK’s university-wide committees continue to advise university leadership on strategic planning initiatives.
Strategic areas, goals, and plan purpose
Leading for the Future identifies five strategic focus areas for the Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK community. These areas and their attendant goals lay the foundation for the university’s comprehensive campaign which seeks to raise $110 million to support a strong and enduring future for Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK.

Introduction
At Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK, we take the lead by delivering a rigorous, relevant, and transformational educational experience that is rooted in the liberal arts and that prepares all students for immediate and sustained success both at Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK and in the larger world. We do this within a culture of belonging that nurtures and encourages intellectual, social, and professional growth and provides opportunities for leadership development.
Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK offers programs that integrate academics, high-impact practices (e.g., research participation, internships, service), advising, and career services to allow students to excel academically and communicate, problem-solve, and lead effectively.
