In February 2014, I spoke candidly about the changing landscape and increased challenges facing higher education, including demographic disruptions, rising external scrutiny, financial constraints and the market’s increasing focus on a college education’s “return on investment.” I posited that these issues will prove deeply problematic for many institutions and insurmountable for some. I emphasized the need for Bucknell to embrace these challenges, and described our capacity to achieve strategic sustainability by being:
- Forward Looking
- Data Informed
- Highly Intentional
- Prudently Bold
- Student Centered
