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.
President Hurd updates students, faculty, and staff on the community’s discussions to date related to the strategic planning and the campus master planning…
President Hurd announces the appointment of, and charge to, the Steering Committee for the strategic planning process.
Each phase of the process will take 2-6 months. As the decisions on the strategic plan will guide the College for years to come, 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.
For additional information about planning underway at the College, please see our Campus Master Plan website.
