Lander's Strategic Plan

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

About

Lander University’s Strategic Plan, adopted in December 2002, reflects the collective work of the Lander community, including its students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, community leaders and many other constituents. Approximately 460 students and 750 other stakeholders completed surveys from which we gathered information concerning our present status with these groups. In addition, innumerable individuals contributed other historical, financial, and anecdotal information to the planning process.

Goals

The Strategic Plan is built around five areas, identified by Five Goals, as follows:

I. LEARNING

Increase Student Learning

Promote learning and the development of life skills that will enable each graduate to make a meaningful living and live a meaningful life

II. ENROLLMENT

Attract, retain and graduate increasing numbers of students from diverse backgrounds who have the potential to succeed in the university environment

III. LINKAGES
