Leadership Council and Planning Steering Committee (administrators, faculty, staff and student governance representatives) spent a great deal of time reviewing findings from planning meetings and putting together a comprehensive plan for Misericordia University. They allowed for feedback and comments from faculty and staff to ensure everyone had a say in the future goals of the University. The plan was affirmed by the Board of Trustees at the Annual Board Meeting in June 2016. The Strategic Plan was broken down into four distinct goals, which are explained below. Goals of the Strategic Plan Goal 1: Optimize Student Enrollment & Retention Goal 2: Foster Academic Transformation Goal 3: Broaden Student, Faculty, and Staff Cultural Engagement Goal 4: Strengthen University Infrastructure and Image The focus of Goal 1 is to develop an integrated enrollment management and retention plan that includes the following strategies: Identify potential student applicants, through the use of well-defined student recruitment profiles, who demonstrate strong academic achievement and preparedness skills; Attract a more diverse student population by increasing access for applicants; Identify and develop new academic program offerings to attract traditional, non-traditional, and graduate students; Recognize and promote currently under-enrolled academic programs; Review and revise financial aid and tuition practices for supporting student enrollment and retention initiatives; Continue to support enrollment marketing initiatives to enroll, retain and support students.
