1 University of Hartford Academic Strategic To Inspire Inquiry, Imagination, and Leadership Since the University of Hartford s last Strategic Plan, adopted in 2002, the University has experienced a period of steady expansion, consistently positive financial results, and intellectual vibrancy unmatched in its history. In light of a challenging international economic environment and declining demographics in the traditional American undergraduate age group, the University must now chart a course that builds on its traditional strengths and adopts innovative approaches and initiatives to remain a vibrant institution that makes a difference in the community and the lives of our students. Specifically, we will build on these distinguishing characteristics of the University: We are a university comprising distinctive professional schools, uniquely enriched by the visual and performing arts, arrayed around a vibrant liberal arts core a university that combines the intellectual and artistic energy of a university with the intimate community associated with a liberal arts college. We are a university in which students transform themselves intellectually, personally, and socially through engagement with faculty, staff, one another, and the external community. Relationships between students, faculty, and staff are the essential and transforming characteristics of a Hartford education. We are a private university with a public purpose, a university founded by the leaders of the Hartford community to serve our region, a university that sees engagement with its various communities as central to its learning environment and its purpose. With these traditional strengths in mind, we at the University have adopted this mission statement: As a private university with a public purpose, we engage students in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to thrive in, and contribute to, a pluralistic, complex world. October 2, 2013 update
2 In order to realize this mission, we are committed to these objectives: We will build and maintain high-quality academic programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We will encourage interdisciplinarity, internationalism, and innovation. We will keep the faculty and staff vital, strong, diverse, and renewed. We will continue to renew the campus through strategic management of our facilities. We will expand connections to communities and resources beyond our campus our alumni, the Greater Hartford community, Connecticut, our country, and our world. We will sustain strong resources human, financial, and philanthropic. We will weather the challenges of the current economy and continue to build endowment to support competitive salaries, financial aid, technology, and innovation; and raise funds to renew our existing facilities and construct a select number of new ones. We will become a university known for its core values: At the University of Hartford, we are committed to community. We are an academic community that values integrity, curiosity, creativity, excellence, responsibility, and accomplishment. Enriched by our diversity and our engagement with one another, we take pride in our shared traditions and experiences. We are dedicated to building a culture that respects all of its members and celebrates their contributions as we work together to strengthen our community. We will pursue and assess continuous improvement. We will communicate and celebrate our progress. Academic Mission As a private university with a public purpose, we prepare students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to thrive and be engaged in a pluralistic, complex world. Our academic community of faculty, staff, and students forms a dynamic, interdisciplinary learning environment that arises from outstanding teaching, innovative research, scholarship, and creative attainment. We are committed to the personal attention associated with a small college, enhanced by the expertise, breadth, and intellectual excitement of a university. Diversity of every sort is integral to our academic mission, along with connections to local, national and global communities.
