Caldwell University Strategic Plan 2024-2029
The Caldwell University Strategic Plan: Renaissance 2024-2029 outlines three overarching goals to advance academic excellence, strengthen financial success, and develop a future-focused university. To achieve academic excellence, the plan focuses on developing innovative pedagogies and curriculum, providing experiential learning opportunities, and implementing a new university-wide core curriculum. Strengthening financial success involves strategically building and sustaining enrollment, continuously reviewing the strategic plan in connection with the budget, and doubling net revenue from all sources. Developing a future-focused university includes increasing diversity and engagement, building strategic partnerships, and equipping the university for efficiency, responsiveness, and innovation while preserving community and excellence. The plan aims to improve staff, faculty, and student retention, advance academic excellence, strengthen the financial footing of the university, and prepare for an innovative future. It acknowledges challenges such as a shrinking college-age demographic, increased governmental scrutiny, and questions about the value of higher education, emphasizing the need for innovation and strong leadership to overcome these obstacles.
