Through Becoming Lafayette, our College community will discuss, develop, and initiate fresh and bold strategic priorities to advance Lafayette’s excellence, inclusiveness, and opportunities for all.
The success of our strategic planning process will rely on engaged participation from everyone who is impacted by our mission. Please visit the links below to learn more about the sessions scheduled during Phase 1. Additional sessions will be added during each phase of the process.
Parents & Families (sessions to be announced soon)
Friends, Neighbors, and Easton Community (sessions to be announced soon)
As you will see on the strategic planning website, you can now RSVP to participate in one of the sessions scheduled, respectively, for student, faculty…
Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff, As we approach the end of 2022, I write to provide some timely updates and to celebrate several important developments…
Each phase of the process will have an approximate timeline of 2-3 months—but that is not absolute, as the decisions we make will guide the College for years to come, and we intend to take the time necessary to move through each phase thoughtfully as a community.
During Phase 1, everyone who participates will have a chance to put forward ideas and goals. In Phase 2, the campus community will help shape and refine those, including through the planning, research, and review work of select committees that will involve faculty, students, administrators, staff, alumni, and trustees. By Phase 3, we expect to select a few overarching goals as well as a specific set of sub-goals that are critical to achieving them.
Yes, by Phase 2, leadership committees will be identified to play an instrumental role in shaping the ultimate strategic plan.
Through this process, the College aims to set ambitious but achievable goals that will strengthen Lafayette’s ability to live up to every aspect of its mission in the most impactful and lasting ways possible.
You can get involved at the outset through the many processes to contribute and participate that are outlined as part of Phase 1. Additional opportunities will be added to this website as they emerge, including a survey to gather further strategic-planning ideas and recommendations.
