Dear Kenneth,
Over the past two months, I have shared with you KGI’s Elevating Excellence Together Vision for the Future and the cabinet’s priorities to support this vision. These goals and initiatives have served as the foundation for the work that will encompass our entire KGI community – the Strategic Plan 2035. This blueprint for the next decade of Keck Graduate Institute is essential as we continue to build up this institution as a preeminent graduate university in the nation. It will help pave our path to sustainability, and allow for recalibration as internal and external environments change.
The process to creating this strategic plan will be led by our Provost, Megan Prosser, and will include opportunities for feedback from each of you. The cabinet met last week to commence this process by discussing strategic plan themes, the planning process, and key performance indicators for success.
Provost Prosser will chair the Strategic Planning Committee, which will include a broad representation of KGI stakeholders. Along with the main committee, there will be four theme teams that align with the priorities in the Elevating Excellence Together Vision for the Future – Advance Academic Excellence, Enhance the Student Experience, Accelerate Institutional Maturity, and Elevate the KGI Brand. Visit the Strategic Plan 2035 website to see the full list of committee members.
We want you to be an integral part of this important step for KGI. If you are a faculty or staff member and would like to submit a nomination to serve on one of the four theme teams, please complete this form by December 6, 2024. Student government will be represented on each working group. In addition, consultation sessions will be made available for members of the KGI community to provide their thoughts throughout the process, which will run through much of 2025. If you have any questions about the process, please email stratplan@kgi.edu.
This is a major milestone in our continued journey to elevate excellence together at KGI. I look forward to engaging with you in this process, and thank you for your active participation in establishing our roadmap for the next decade.
Warm regards,
