Converse University Strategic Plan 2023-2026
Strategic Themes and Emerging Goals
The foundation for the 2023-2026 Strategic Vision Plan is comprised of four priorities which serve as the unifying ideologies across the plan’s development and implementation. Both independently and collectively, each priority embodies the aspirational culture that Converse strives to obtain and our promise to the community we serve.
These foundational priorities include:
- Remaining relentlessly STUDENT-CENTERED
- Building FINANCIAL RESILIENCE
- Promoting HEALTH & 幸福
- Committing to INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE
In order to achieve these aspirational goals, Converse must excel in three equal and interconnected pillars, our three areas of focus:
- Enriching our PROGRAMS,
- Empowering our PEOPLE, and
- Enhancing our PLACES.
Each of these three areas organizes a set of goals and corresponding objectives that will guide Converse University’s efforts for the next few years.
The development and approval of the Strategic Vision Plan framework is the beginning of the process which will involve continuous feedback, 咨询, and input by campus and community stakeholders.
Originating from the objectives within each of the three areas of focus will be individual plans and initiatives that departments and operating units will be empowered to develop and implement in alignment with this Strategic Plan. 2022年秋季, the Strategic Vision Planning Committee will develop the three-year operating plan and forecast and will establish evaluation and performance measures.
As the operating plan and forecast are determined, the Converse campus community can expect changes to help prepare the campus for first-year initiatives. Updates will be shared on this page as available.
The success of the Strategic Vision Plan will, 在某种程度上, depend on the financial resources available to fuel the initiatives and the generosity of Converse donors and friends.
现在, more than ever, the students of Converse need your commitment and steadfast support as we move forward on this vibrant path.
You can make an immediate impact campus-wide by:
-
- providing scholarships;
-
- supplying classroom technology and materials;
-
- supporting 教师; and
- enhancing our beautiful historic campus.
Whether you 给 a gift to the annual fund or invest in the revitalization of iconic Cudd Hall to help create a learning-living environment that supports student success, your generosity today empowers students to take on the future confidently.
