Rosemont College

Goals of the Strategic Plan

In the spring of 2007, the Board of Trustees engaged a consultant to lead a strategic planning initiative with one straightforward goal: the development of a shared vision and strategic agenda for the institution's future. The process presented the College community with an opportunity to respond to higher education environmental challenges and to explore all possible avenues to enhance Rosemont's academic, spiritual, and financial well-being. The College evaluated its strengths, analyzed its financial position, researched its markets, solicited input from all campus constituents, and studied the experiences of other women's colleges which have also examined the viability of single-sex education in the United States. Research concluded in February, 2008 and the findings are the basis of the plan which was presented for consideration at a meeting of the Board of Trustees this past weekend.

Goals of the Strategic Plan:

Define our identity as a fully co-educational institution refounded on our dedication to the College's Catholic and Cornelian mission, sensitivity to market realities, and commitment to diversity.
Establish our academic program niche, revitalize our curriculum, and establish flagship programs and institutional partnerships in support of the themes of developing ethical leaders, environmental sustainability, and multiculturalism.
Build a vibrant and engaging campus environment characterized by a commitment to student-centered teaching, service, and support, meaningful cross-cultural interaction and understanding, and abundant opportunities for personal and intellectual growth.
Articulate clearly and effectively our identity and brand promise to the marketplace.
Develop an institutional culture and organization that is flexible, collaborative, and competitive.
Achieve financial stability while investing shrewdly in our physical and operational infrastructure.
