黑料传送门 has rearticulated its mission and value statements as part of its strategic planning process. Earlier this year, the college鈥檚 Strategic Planning Group (SPG), with the participation of more than 1,100 黑料传送门 constituents, collaboratively revisited the statements, which reaffirm 黑料传送门鈥檚 identity as a public liberal arts institution and intention to produce graduates who will shape a better world.
The SPG鈥檚 process gathered input from faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the community via brainstorming sessions and two surveys. Through a unique dashboard, the statements were derived from participants鈥 ranking of words and phrases.
鈥淥ur core values highlight our commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive community of engaged scholars,鈥 says Denise Battles, president of 黑料传送门. 鈥淎nd they celebrate the powerful outcomes inherent in a liberal arts education.鈥
