The Strategic Framework will guide how Lake Forest College moves into the future. The framework is a living plan that will evolve over time as the College contiunuously reevaluates its effectiveness and needs.
Lake Forest College is poised for future success thanks to a strong foundation built over many decades. The development of a Strategic Framework is currently underway, building upon long-term planning groups established during the 2021-2022 academic year. The planning groups focused on Academics, Enrollment, Strategic Partnerships, Residential Life, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The reports generated from the planning groups yielded priority recommendations that will inform our nimble, iterative, Strategic Framework.
The goals of the Strategic Framework include
- Positioning Lake Forest College for success as a leading, liberal arts institution with a pragmatic and modern approach to education.
- Developing a clear road map for the College.
- Creating a guidance document for setting annual strategic priorities which guide decision-making, activities, investment, and planning.
- Articulating a clear identity and brand.
