Board meetings and strategic plans from The University of the South
The Strategic Plan 2024-2030 for The University of the South outlines a renewed educational approach rooted in its liberal arts and theological tradition, preparing graduates for lives of integrity, service, and leadership. Key objectives include offering a comprehensive curriculum to attract high-caliber students and preparing them for active citizenship and global challenges. The plan is structured around three strategic pillars: Mind (renewing and enhancing the curriculum), Heart (enhancing student formation and leadership development), and Place (becoming a model of inclusive community and environmental stewardship).
The Library and Information Technology Services (LITS) strategic plan focuses on six key priorities: staffing and organizational effectiveness, promoting resources and fostering collaboration, supporting instruction, research, and scholarship, enhancing Sewanee's technology ecosystem, data governance and cybersecurity, and improving physical spaces for teaching, learning, and research. The plan aims to position LITS as a strategic partner throughout the University, providing expertise, services, and resources to support Sewanee's academic mission and foster a vibrant, inclusive, and transformative learning environment.
The advisory services program focuses on generating incremental revenue streams to support the University's mission and identifying short-term investment opportunities that will benefit Sewanee economically. It addresses challenges such as declining faculty housing, low retail density, and the need for community engagement. Key recommendations include building rental housing, revising ground leases, densifying the campus core, and developing ancillary real estate. The program also emphasizes innovation, place-making, community-focused investments, and enhanced marketing initiatives to promote the University's vision and brand.
