Strategic Plan Initiatives

Academic Improvements
Our academic programs are the heart of what we do, so we are working to
improve them based on what our students want and need. We will
integrate our curriculum to make the most of the connection between the
liberal arts and professional studies while focusing on creating diverse
academic experiences for our students. By improving our liberal arts
offerings in light of the Franciscan Intellectual tradition we hope to
create a culture of Servant Leadership, providing opportunities for our
students to give back to their community and take on leadership roles.
Providing new and improved programs as well as more technology-based
curriculum will help our students fulfill their goals in the workforce.
Maximizing Human Resources
People are part of the experience of Silver Lake College. In the coming
years, we will focus on growing our already talented faculty and staff
to their highest potential. By increasing diversity among them and
offering more professional development opportunities we can improve
efficiency and increase innovation across the campus. -
Building a Student-Centered Culture
We’ve always been friendly, and in the coming years we hope to make our
processes even more so. By focusing on the students’ experiences and
providing clear communication and customer service, we will create more
and more user-friendly methods for common requests.

Improving Facilities
The coming years will see a makeover not only for our programs, but for
our physical campus in its entirety. Having moved into Phase I of
our Campus Master Plan, renovation is already underway in our new
and state-of-the art Clare Hall Residence. Coming up next are plans
to build a Student Athletics and Fitness Center, as well as a Music
Performance building. In fact, wholesale improvements will be made
to our current spaces as well, transforming our campus to meet the
needs of our students.
Enhancing Enrollment & Finances
Our student population is our motivating factor. By increasing and
diversifying our enrollment, we will provide a more dynamic campus
community with more opportunities, involvement and interests. But
it doesn’t stop there…by increasing our resources, including
endowment for student aid and the annual fund for general
operations, we will provide more opportunities. The alumni
population will be our focus as well, with our aim to provide a
dynamic environment of communication between alums and the College.
