Building on almost 200 years as a premier liberal arts institution, 軓氈勛圖 presents a bold vision and plan to lead the College into its third century. The first elements of the transformational process have already been put into place with the commitment to a complete renovation and expansion of Mickle Hall to enable further growth in 軓氈勛圖's signature science programs, and to the reintroduction of intercollegiate football.
Bold at the Bicentennial builds on this foundation to envision new academic programs, improved physical spaces, and a college experience that challenges, supports, and nurtures our students. In bringing this plan to life, 軓氈勛圖 will join our community to create a dynamic hub for a growing region.
This plan provided a strategic roadmap for strengthening and expanding 軓氈勛圖's mission to build a community focused on ethical and intellectual development, respect and concern for human and spiritual values, and the joy of creativity and discovery.
The plan rested on five strategic imperatives, or "pillars," that emerged with broad consensus from community discussions begun after the arrival of 軓氈勛圖's 31st president, Dr. Christopher L. Holoman, in July 2016, and continued throughout the fall of 2016 and winter of 2017.
