The Plan for Mount Mercy
Mount Mercy College
President Christopher Blake announced on May 3, 2008 that
Dr. Christopher R.L. Blake |
the institution’s
Board of Trustees, under the direction of Chairman Charles A. Rohde,
has approved a new strategic plan that will guide the institution
through 2012. The strategic plan endorses the goal of Mount Mercy
College transitioning to Mount Mercy University by 2012.
The strategic plan focuses on five major themes:
a vibrant teaching and learning environment; student experiences;
sustainable institutional resources; visibility, marketing and
outreach; and Catholic identity and Mercy mission. Each theme
includes corresponding goals that members of the campus
community will address during the next four academic years.
“The
passage of this strategic plan is a key moment in the history
of Mount Mercy, as we seek to build upon our mission, values and
vision as a Catholic institution of higher learning, founded by
the Sisters of Mercy, and providing a high quality student-focused
education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels,”
says Blake. “The strategic plan will provide the vital context
and outcomes for us to become Mount Mercy University, recognized
regionally for academic distinction as a small to mid-size university
and as a national leader within the Conference of Mercy Higher
Education. This plan is central to our evolution as a vibrant
intellectual community in the 21st century, providing a range
of educational experiences designed to empower our students to
be leaders in their professions and communities, and to position
Mount Mercy as a powerful, sustainable, viable and well-resourced
place of learning.”
