The transformation continues...

Loyola recently introduced its next strategic plan, Together We Rise: Loyola University Maryland’s Strategic Plan for 2030, which will shape the next chapter of our University’s history. A strategic plan shapes a dream for the future, setting realistic, intentional steps that can result in transformational change. In anticipation of what's to come, Loyola magazine looked back at strategic plans over the past 20 years to see how they have helped launch some of the key aspects of the Loyola experience. Here are 10 things you love about Loyola, thanks to strategic plans: https://lnkd.in/dsuJDnnY

Exciting news from the U!

On Friday, I had the honor of addressing the University of Nebraska Board of Regents to discuss the future of our great institution. Together, we are embarking on an Odyssey to the Extraordinary—a journey powered by innovation, collaboration, and a shared commitment to the people of Nebraska.   Our bold strategic plan is rooted in five foundational pillars: Teaching and Learning, Research and Creative Activity, Partnerships and Engagement, Culture and Environment, and Stewardship and Effectiveness. These guideposts will drive us toward new heights of academic excellence, community impact, and economic growth.   Already, we’ve made great strides: • Achieving $617M in research expenditures, ranking NU among top institutions nationally. • Expanding our Presidential Scholars program to retain Nebraska’s brightest students. • Launching key initiatives like the Infectious Diseases Air Transport Training Facility, enhancing NU’s global leadership.   This is just the beginning. The ripples of our work are already creating far-reaching impacts across the state and beyond. Together, we will continue building a university that inspires, uplifts, and drives extraordinary progress for all. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gRm_ZWpC

Thank you for doing this, Herzog Foundation! There are profound theological and pedagogical reasons to at least be asking these questions. Sure, it blows up much of the way we think about traditional school. But in general, doesn't the assumptions that come from starting with the gospel as our first premise also blow up a lot of assumptions! There's enough data out there about the pedagogical effects on students and their capacities; it provides more time for teachers to prep and to stay sharp throughout the week; it creates more space for recognizing the importance of the family; (if Monday is the day "off,") it encourages greater participation in and enjoyment of our corporate worship. I could go on and on. It's part of the reason why it's one of the first podcast episodes I put together for RenewEd. 24 minute listen here: https://lnkd.in/gaRDXAKk

In 2021, Texas Woman’s University took a monumental step forward by becoming a university system. This evolution represents not just a structural change but a strategic commitment to expanding our impact and fostering innovation in higher education. As a university system, we are better positioned to serve Texas more broadly, enhance educational accessibility, and drive greater prosperity for all. This transformation underscores our dedication to excellence and our mission to empower students through comprehensive, high-quality education. The role of a chancellor in this context extends far beyond academic leadership. It involves engaging with political landscapes, advocating for policies that support our goals, and securing resources to sustain our growth. Navigating the complexities is crucial to championing the needs of our students, faculty, and staff, and ensuring the continued success of our institution.
