This interim report details Southwestern's strategic initiative to become a Hispanic-Including Institution, building on a tactic from its 2021-26 Tactical Plan. It outlines the institution's current status regarding Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) eligibility, distinguishing between "Hispanic-Enrolling" and "Hispanic-Serving" institutions. The report identifies key areas for improvement and provides guiding principles and recommendations across three categories: actions within current budget, actions requiring small-scale fundraising, and actions needing significant long-term revenue. The primary focus is on strengthening existing programs, designing new services, and coordinating efforts to foster a sustainable culture of diversity, inclusion, belonging, and equity (DIBE) for Hispanic/Latinx students and students of color more broadly, with the ultimate goal of achieving HSI designation and transforming institutional culture to ensure their success and belonging.
Southwestern University's 'Vision, Direction, and Goals' document outlines a strategic roadmap for the next five to ten years, aiming to empower students to think, create, and connect to make meaning and make a difference. The plan is built upon four core goals: enrolling and retaining academically strong students, fostering high standards of scholarship and unique educational experiences, cultivating a supportive culture among faculty and staff for institutional excellence, and establishing a sustainable financial model. The overall objective is to maintain its leadership in innovative undergraduate liberal arts education and contribute to the well-being of humanity.
