Board meetings and strategic plans from Allen University
The announcement centered on a leadership transition at Allen University. The Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees introduced the new interim president, Dr. Stanley Jerome Pritchard. The introduction emphasized Dr. Pritchard's extensive background in K-12 and higher education, including his critical experience leading Morris Brown College through a difficult period to reaccreditation. The interim president outlined his commitment to collaboration, accountability, and student-centered decision-making. His initial 90-day plan includes a listening and engagement tour, an internal assessment of academic programs, enrollment, fundraising, and operational efficiency, and strengthening external partnerships.
Allen University's 2019-2024 Strategic Plan, "Powering the Imagination," focuses on three key areas: growing enrollment, enhancing academic programs and results, and strengthening institutional finances. Enrollment growth targets increasing the student body to 1200 by Fall 2021, diversifying geographically, academically, and racially, and implementing a data-driven retention plan. Academic enhancements include adding new bachelor's and master's degree programs (including online options) in areas like public health and data science, integrating academic initiatives to improve course completion and retention, and fostering a culture of teaching excellence and innovation. Financial strengthening involves establishing a $20 million endowment, a $2 million annual fund, and diversifying revenue streams through grants, contracts, and facility rentals. The plan aims to better serve students, the community, and the greater good.
Allen University's 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, "We Are, We Can, We Will," focuses on four key aspirations: growing and expanding enrollment; enhancing educational strengths and results; building financial strength; and enhancing the environment. The plan aims to increase enrollment to 1200 by Fall 2026 through targeted recruitment, improved financial aid processes, and enhanced student retention strategies. It also seeks to expand graduate programs, improve teaching and learning through technology integration, and foster a culture of instructional excellence. Financial goals include increasing non-student revenue to 56% by 2028 through grants, major gifts campaigns, and the development of for-profit entities. Environmental improvements focus on upgrading facilities, enhancing campus aesthetics, and leveraging technology and AI. The overarching goal is to create a culture of continuous improvement and growth, ensuring Allen University's continued success and impact.
