- Published

缅北禁地 has launched an ambitious, multi-phase strategic planning process, titled Imagine. Innovate. Ascend., which will guide the College鈥檚 direction and priorities for 2025 through 2030.
This comprehensive initiative will unfold in three phases: Discovery, Development, and Implementation, and will culminate in a final plan to be approved by President Aimee Sapp and the Board of Trustees in 2026. The new strategic plan will officially take effect in August 2026.
The process builds on Meredith鈥檚 long-standing commitment to academic excellence, institutional strength, and community impact. Rooted in the College鈥檚 mission and values, the plan will focus on its six key pillars: Educational Excellence, Financial Strength, Optimal Enrollment, Facilities and Technology, Marketing and Visibility, and Quality of Life.
The planning process is being facilitated by Associate Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Daphne Davis, who oversees coordination across divisions and leads the Strategic Planning Steering Committee. The committee includes faculty and staff members representing a broad range of campus perspectives, working collaboratively to ensure engagement, transparency, and measurable outcomes.

Collectively, these events engaged more than 350 internal and external stakeholders, including trustees, alumnae, city officials, business leaders, and community representatives in conversations about a shared vision for Meredith鈥檚 future.
鈥淭he engagement and enthusiasm from our campus and community reaffirm that Meredith鈥檚 future is not built in isolation but in partnership with those we serve,鈥 said Davis. 鈥淚magine. Innovate. Ascend. captures both the spirit and the strategy of where Meredith is headed. Together, we are charting one destination that unites our mission, our people, and our purpose.鈥
