| This strategic plan seeks to enhance and strengthen the key components of our institution: the K-Plan and our commitment to experiential, international, and multicultural dimensions of education. Throughout its history, Kalamazoo College has broken new ground in liberal arts education through our nationally-recognized study abroad programs, our innovations in Experiential Education, and the excellence of our First-Year Experience program. Through the K-Plan, students are provided an array of opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that underlie the five dimensions of a Kalamazoo College education: lifelong learning, intercultural understanding, social responsibility, career readiness, and leadership. During the next five years, we will develop key connections that undergird the K-Plan: connections among students, faculty, administration, and staff; connections with our global partners and the global community; connections within a diverse and civil campus community; and connections with our communities beyond the campus. Strengthening these connections will sustain our momentum through the end of the first decade of the 21st century, and will renew our commitments to the highest ethical standards, respect for all persons, and leadership with integrity. |
