Knowledge into Action

"We are, like to a democracy, simultaneously inhabitants and stewards of this College: as we live and work here, we shape the shared experiences and thus the future of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ and the society it shapes."

President Anne F. Harris,
Inaugural address, May 7, 2022

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s strategic plan, approved by the Board of Trustees in fall 2023, was the culmination of inquiry by and input from Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ians: students, staff, faculty, alumni, and trustees. In creating “Knowledge into Action,â€� the College’s core values: academic excellence, a diverse community, and social responsibility frame what we do and how we do it in the context of Civic Trust. This is the “Why?â€� that powers Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ and its mission.

Strategic plan initiatives are fueling Ä¢¹½´«Ã½â€™s success, inspiring philanthropy, supporting excellence and new academic options, enhancing the student experience and safeguarding inclusion, preparing graduates for rewarding careers, enabling hands-on learning, and doing all of this in ways that value and promote civic engagement and innovation.
