Houghton University President's Report 2023-2028

Houghton University's 2023-2028 strategic plan prioritizes seven key areas: Christian community, academics, capital investment, digital transformation, enrollment, personnel, and student experience. The plan aims to strengthen the university's ability to meet the needs of current and future students by fostering a Christ-centered learning environment, modernizing facilities, enhancing digital infrastructure, increasing enrollment, attracting and retaining mission-aligned employees, and enriching student life. Progress in the first year includes the opening of a new Christian community space, the launch of the Initiative for Christ-Centered Teaching and Scholarship, significant philanthropic support for residence renewal, planning for a new ERP system, enrollment growth, salary increases for employees, and the implementation of a comprehensive wellness program.
