MARYVILLE COLLEGE’S BICENTENNIAL AND BEYOND STRATEGIC PLAN

RENEWING OUR STRENGTH 2013–2019

“BUT THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES; THEY SHALL RUN , AND NOT BE WEARY; AND THEY SHALL WALK , AND NOT FAINT . ” — I saiah 40:31 ­

FIERCELY PRACTICAL AND DETERMINEDLY ASPIRATIONAL,

the “Renewing Our Strength” Strategic Plan for Maryville College was approved by the Board of Directors on Oct. 18, 2012, and provides a vision for its bicentennial in 2019. The two major goals for this period are achieving financial stability and ensuring a vital academic program that is relevant in its time and place. These goals are fundamental to Maryville College continuing to accomplish its mission to prepare students for lives of citizenship and leadership. Connecting the Maryville College of yesterday, today and tomorrow, this plan reaffirms the College’s belief in the liberal arts as a distinctive and successful approach to education, the College’s commitment to faith and learning, and the College’s desire to embrace change. One guiding purpose in this plan is that, in 2019, Isaac Anderson would both recognize and approve of the College he founded. From 2013 to 2019, Maryville College will focus on fostering the holistic personal development and professional preparation of its students in a church-related, residential liberal arts setting. I encourage you to look over this publication and see how and where you might get involved. As always, I welcome your comments, questions and ideas. Dr. William T. “Tom” Bogart Maryville College President
