Strategic Planning
Message From the President
The Strategic Planning Process and Updates
Timeline of Strategic Planning
Our strategic plan process began in earnest in fall 2023. We have built out a timeline showing events that have already occurred to date and those still to come, with a goal of implementing the final plan in fall 2024.
Draft Strategic Plan Themes
While we are still in the initial draft stage of our plan, here are the five themes we are focusing on.
Ideas Generated
The planning committee has held a number of meetings and exercises to focus on our key strengths to strongly consider building upon, opportunities for cross-school collaborations, and common points and themes.
Updating the Mission Statement
As part of the strategic planning process, we are revising the institutional mission statement. The current statement has not changed since the 1990s and is not fully reflective of who we are today or of the collective strengths of the three schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School, and the Law School.
Big Ideas: Request for Proposals
This is a chance to be part of building a new future at Lewis & Clark. Successful proposals will create new opportunities for our students, for the institution, for yourselves, and for our donors. They will bring new resources to support work that you care deeply about.
