St. Ambrose University Strategic Plan 2022-2027

The St. Ambrose University Agile Ambrose Strategic Plan (2022-2027) focuses on four key areas: Sustainable Foundations, Reimagined Learning, Students Thriving, and Strategic Growth. Sustainable Foundations aims to build a strong and adaptable organization through initiatives focused on people capacity, policies and procedures, physical and technological infrastructure, risk mitigation, and philanthropy. Reimagined Learning seeks to redefine the university's position as a leader in Catholic, learner-centered education by redesigning the student experience, including a new Ambrose Core curriculum and innovative learning infrastructure. Students Thriving prioritizes student success and retention through initiatives focused on comprehensive support systems, holistic advising, and support for student-athletes. Strategic Growth focuses on aligning the university's mission, vision, and values; revitalizing and activating its brand; expanding into new markets; and developing strategic partnerships. The plan aims to achieve specific goals, including an enrollment of 3000 students, a 12% market share, 35 new partnerships, $72.5 million in operating revenue, and $50 million in philanthropic giving. The plan addresses challenges facing higher education, such as changing learner expectations, declining enrollment, increasing student debt, and rapid technological change.
