Board meetings and strategic plans from Hampshire College
The discussion focused on refining the Hampshire student experience, emphasizing the importance of not narrowing down what students can do and ensuring the college remains a place where students can pursue any question or idea. Key points included building community, making the experience accessible to a wide variety of students, and ensuring the process builds necessary skills. The elements discussed were project design, experiential and applied learning, global challenge projects, cohort building, reinventing the course, divisional seminars, collaborative learning and community building, and fostering advising and mentorship.
The Board of Trustees convened twice in February to address time-sensitive matters, including approving faculty personnel actions and awarding baccalaureate degrees. Discussions covered identifying students who thrive at Hampshire, strategic planning, retention efforts, the Portal project, the Food, Farm, and Sustainability Initiative, the Entrepreneurship Initiative, and Hampshire's Policy on Environmental, Social, and Governance Investing. A significant focus was placed on the role of technology in higher education, with insights from external guests and campus participants.
The Board of Trustees meeting included updates on the admissions initiative, showcasing its impact on attracting high-caliber students from diverse backgrounds. The new website, admissions view book, and case for Hampshire were introduced. Discussions covered the state of the student, wellness initiatives, changes to the physical landscape, student satisfaction surveys, and the impact of living-learning communities. The progress of the fundraising campaign was reviewed, with trustees sharing personal stories of support for the College. The board approved faculty appointments, the fiscal year 2016 operating budget, and an amendment to the Hampshire College Bylaws to include the Vice President of Student Affairs as an officer of the College. The renovated courtyard in Merrill House was named in memory of Howard Paul.
