Strategic Vision<\/h2><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>
\n\n

Kalamazoo College is a leading institution in integrating academic rigor with life-changing experiential education in a values-driven community.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mission<\/h2><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>
\n\n

Kalamazoo College prepares its graduates to better understand, live successfully within, and provide enlightened leadership to a richly diverse and increasingly complex world.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Values<\/h2><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div>
\n\n

Kalamazoo College values academic rigor and all components of a liberal arts education embodied in our K-Plan<\/em>; inclusion and equity; residential experiences for students that contribute to their growth as leaders; sustainability; and mission-driven creativity and innovation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

About the Strategic Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Herbert Lee Stetson, seventh president of Kalamazoo College, once said that it had always been his desire to make K as good an institution as possible, \u201calways maintaining high ideals, emphasizing quality rather than quantity, developing marked individuality and independence of thought among its students, and creating that spirit which transforms this world into the best possible world for human beings to become all they are capable of becoming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the years, K has continued to grow and modernize, offering opportunities through the K-Plan<\/em> and co-curricular activities that may well have exceeded the wildest dreams of its early leaders. These opportunities are now available to the most diverse student body in its history, as the College works toward greater equity and inclusion, not just in enrollment but in its policies and practices.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As we developed the College\u2019s strategic plan, Advancing Kalamazoo College 2029<\/em>, we aimed to build on the success of the previous plan while addressing new post-pandemic challenges. At the center of our plan are two pillars most central to the College\u2019s mission: Learning for Life<\/strong> and Fostering an Inclusive and Supportive Campus for All<\/strong>. The achievement of these pillars relies upon the strength of the supporting pillars, Financial Sustainability<\/strong> and Enrollment Sustainability<\/strong>. The plan, thoughtfully crafted by constituents across the College, reflects our unwavering commitment to make Kalamazoo College a leading liberal arts institution\u2014one that provides life-changing experiences and inspires lifelong learning, today and for generations to come.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
