“UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State’s work to reimagine education through the One Penn State 2025 initiative — one of five central elements of the Penn State Strategic Plan — is underway and ongoing, with working groups anticipating making policy recommendations based on conversations with stakeholders across the University.
“Students select Penn State in pursuit of high-quality, world-class education,” said Yvonne Gaudelius, vice president and dean for Undergraduate Education and One Penn State 2025 co-chair. “It is our mission to remove barriers that might hinder their access or academic success by providing a seamless experience in all interactions with the University.”
First introduced to the University’s strategic plan in 2020, the initiative began when a task force, charged by Executive Vice President and Provost Nick Jones to examine the future of online education, recommended a much broader approach to rethinking the future of Penn State.
One Penn State 2025 focuses on five guiding principles: provide a seamless student experience, achieve curricular coherence, design relevant and responsive programs, engage learners throughout their lifetimes and achieve the highest level of efficiency of University resources, with nearly 150 Penn State faculty, administrators, staff and students working on these guiding principles. Working groups dedicated to each of these five guiding principles have been meeting with stakeholders including the University Faculty Senate, Policies Influencing Equity Task Force, Budget Task Force, Social Science Research Institute and the Office of Planning, Assessment, and Institutional Research.”
So Penn State has a strategic plan. Who knew? Do wethank blame barren for it?
I also don’t agree with Yvonne’s stated reasons for why students choose Penn State. I’m pretty sure it’s for the parties, ice cream, and promise of good football.
