"We are, like to a democracy, simultaneously inhabitants and stewards of this College: as we live and work here, we shape the shared experiences and thus the future of Ƶ and the society it shapes."
President Anne F. Harris,
Inaugural address, May 7, 2022
Ƶ’s strategic plan, approved by the Board of Trustees in fall 2023, was the culmination of inquiry by and input from Ƶians: students, staff, faculty, alumni, and trustees. In creating “Knowledge into Action,” the College’s core values: academic excellence, a diverse community, and social responsibility frame what we do and how we do it in the context of Civic Trust. This is the “Why?” that powers Ƶ and its mission.
Strategic plan initiatives are fueling Ƶ’s success, inspiring philanthropy, supporting excellence and new academic options, enhancing the student experience and safeguarding inclusion, preparing graduates for rewarding careers, enabling hands-on learning, and doing all of this in ways that value and promote civic engagement and innovation.
