National Louis University: 2030 Strategic Plan
National Louis University underwent an 18 month inclusive planning process which sought input from external and internal stakeholders to fully understand the evolving higher education landscape.
The University Leadership Council (President’s Cabinet, faculty representatives, Staff Council representatives) were tasked with helping shape the mission, vision, core values, and strategies to guide the next 5-10 years.
-
Student focus groups and surveys were facilitated to ensure student voice was reflected in the plan.
-
Community sessions were held to gather additional input for the plan and help keep the university updated on progress.
-
External experts provided input on higher education.
-
The planning process was extended with the emergence of the COVID19 epidemic and subsequent social unrest due to the growing recognition of centuries of racial inequity and systemic racism.
-
We utilized additional time to both address immediate issues facing the institution and to reflect on the university’s response to the seismic influence of current events on the future.
