Arcadia University’s pioneering, global, integrated, liberal arts, and professional learning experience cultivates leaders who are intellectually fearless and uniquely prepared for life and work. Our highly regarded, values-based learning community reflects the world in which we want to live.
Arcadia Community Engagement ARCADIA 2025
The community's engagement is an integral part of the process of refining and aligning emerging themes into goals, objectives, and initiative priorities—all compiled into a draft form of our adaptive strategy. The four Themes and associated Strategic Goals capture a series of objectives and initiatives that are threaded throughout the adaptive strategy and cut across all of our colleges, departments, and divisions.
The next step in this process is for the community to review this draft of ARCADIA 2025 through the lens of the following questions:
- What are the systemic, existential, institutional, and unit-level risks related to our strategy?
- In the next three-to-six months, what should we monitor as a community to ensure success?
- Are these strategic goals, objectives, and initiatives appropriately ambitious and aligned with our vision, mission, and values?
