Kenyon College Strategic Plan

Kenyon College's "Foundations for Kenyon's Third Century" strategic plan addresses challenges facing higher education, including financial constraints, demographic shifts, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan prioritizes engaging students in rigorous learning through high-impact practices, expanding international experiences, and developing a computational studies program. It also emphasizes recruiting and retaining a diverse student body, fostering a strong sense of community, and securing the College's financial future. Key initiatives include strengthening faculty support, expanding opportunities for global learning, promoting inclusive excellence, and enhancing health and wellness programs. Strategic changes involve increasing the student body size, adjusting the academic calendar to incorporate a winter term, and developing new institutional partnerships. The plan aims to maintain the core values of a Kenyon education while adapting to the evolving needs of students and the broader world.
