Strategic Planning Updates
The College is excited to announce that the Strategic Planning process is concluding Phase 4 and entering Phase 5 in the Spring semester. Sincerest thanks to the Emerson community for their input and to the Working Groups for their continued impactful work.
Planning for an Even Brighter Future
Emerson College has embarked on an inclusive, inspiring, and transformative endeavor to create and execute a new strategic plan. This six-year plan, which will coincide with Emerson’s 150th anniversary in 2030, will help us update our mission, vision, values, and strategic priorities to ensure that Emerson continues to lead the way in the study and practice of communication, the arts, and the liberal arts to make a difference for society and the world.
Through the process of collaborating on a new strategic plan, our community will prioritize current objectives as well as envision new goals to achieve. An effective strategic plan will unify students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends around a common vision and shared values, align resources to critical priorities, and outline a clear roadmap for meaningful action in the future.
Community Involvement
To ensure that the College’s strategic plan reflects our community members’ varied perspectives, Emersonians have been engaged in the design and implementation process. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni have provided suggestions and feedback through interviews, focus groups, and surveys over the course of the year. The College started these conversations in December 2023, and they have continued through the Fall of 2024. In early 2025, analysis of the results and the creation and finalization of the plan will be concluded, with a presentation of findings and final plan launch anticipated in Spring 2025.
