Berea College is using a dynamic, flexible strategic planning process to capture both our great work underway and our hopes for an even better Berea. Titled “Vision into Action,” this new form of strategic planning is focused on ensuring that our ideas are translated into real results as quickly and effectively as possible.
“Vision into Action” is a testament to the high-quality feedback received during President Nixon’s Listening Tour and Town Hall sessions—an open, honest, collaborative sharing of ideas and insights, hopes and dreams, questions and concerns. These ideas generated actionable strategies that enhance the student experience, foster academic excellence, and strengthen our campus community. We are excited to share our bold Vision for the future and the Actions that will bring that Vision to life.
Berea will use our current strengths to create the “next horizon” of higher education. Berea is and will be:
Berea’s bold vision for the future features new forms of thinking, working, and creating community. Berea is ready to claim:
Students First
The Student Experience in our Beloved Community
Berea aspires to offer an environment of possibility and promise, where students can further develop the gifts they bring to us, access resources to grow, explore knowledge to expand horizons, and be empowered to shape the complex world ahead.
