PC200 strategic plan underscores national prominence, reach
PC200, the new strategic plan approved by the Board of Trustees in November 2018, is poised to distinguish the College as a nationally recognized, premier Catholic institution with an expanded national recruiting presence and an ever-increasing reputation for academic excellence.
Developed through an inclusive, community-based process over more than two years, PC200 is a 10-year plan that outlines high aspirations and promises ever-stronger connections to the College’s core values and history. More than 1,000 people, including the President’s Senior Cabinet, faculty, staff, students, alumni, trustees, and members of the Dominican community, provided input.
PC200 addresses many of the challenges facing higher-education institutions, including the need for a distinctive value proposition, careful fiscal management, and an evolving recruitment strategy that accounts for expected demographic shifts affecting the traditional college-age population. The plan’s three overarching goals broadly center on the academic experience, an inclusive and diverse community, and institutional sustainment.
The PC200 process was led by a five-member Leadership Team with support from the Strategic Plan Steering Committee and the Future of Higher Education Research Team. Leadership Team members are Rev. Kenneth R. Sicard, O.P. ’78 & ’82G, College executive vice president and treasurer; Dr. Brian J. Bartolini, associate vice president for academic affairs and chief institutional effectiveness officer; Michael H. Botelho, associate vice president for financial and strategic planning; Mark J. Caprio, associate professor, associate library director, and associate director of the Center for Engaged Learning; and Dr. Sylvia Maxfield, dean of the PC School of Business.
