I. Introduction: Why This Plan?Through the wisdom, dedication, and hard work of those who have gone before us, Muhlenberg has achieved a distinguished reputation among America's undergraduate liberal arts institutions. Now it is time for us - faculty, staff, alumni, students, parents, and Trustees - as the current stewards of this remarkable place, to take thought for the College's future. The beginning of a new century, as well as the accelerating pace of change, make this an appropriate moment for us to think deeply and creatively about the challenges that face our college, our society, and our world, and to define the role Muhlenberg will play in preparing young men and women to meet those challenges. It is our responsibility to renew this College, which has equipped so many young women and men with the intellectual and moral tools to lead and serve, as a powerful force for good. The discipline of constrained resources requires us to make careful choices. The investments called for in this plan are intended to leverage our considerable strengths, build on our traditional values, and position Muhlenberg for an even more successful future. Because we can only achieve ambitions worthy of this great institution if we work together, the strategic planning process has engaged Trustees, faculty, staff, students, alumni, parents, and other members of the community in charting our course for the next decade. Consequently, this strategic plan represents a shared and aspirational vision of our common future. Achieving that vision will require all of us who love this place and believe in the importance of its work to give our very best. Previous Page || Next Page |
