Strategic Planning

"As we move from the Year of Listening to more focused work on our strategic plan, we expect creativity and flexibility to be at the heart of the ‘new normal’ that defines the college. By finding new ways to capitalize on our strengths, particularly the Block Plan and our unique place, we will attract top students from around the world who seek an engaging liberal arts experience with a distinctive Southwest flavor. We have the advantage of appealing to individuals who are looking for a bit of adventure as part of their academic pursuits — who want to pursue living and learning on equal terms. Once they are here, we will help them prepare to be lifelong learners and leaders in the global community."
— President Tiefenthaler
