To the Oberlin Campus Community,

I’m pleased to inform you that on Saturday, March 5, the Oberlin College Board of Trustees unanimously adopted the Strategic Plan, which had been passed by the General Faculty the previous day.

This is a very significant accomplishment for Oberlin College. The twin actions by the Faculty and the Board bring to fruition some eighteen months of work on the strategic plan. The plan charts a course that will strengthen Oberlin’s academic program and ensure the College’s financial sustainability.

Oberlin’s many stakeholders – faculty, trustees, administrators, students, and alumni – have poured countless hours of thought, discussion, and negotiation into the planning process. The faculty have brought to bear their best thinking and markedly improved the plan. The entire community is particularly indebted to the Strategic Planning Task Force for its indefatigable efforts.

No strategic plan is self-executing. The hard work of implementation lies ahead. I am confident that, if the community can muster the same good will and imagination that characterized the planning process, the plan will become a living document that will open the door to a bright future for Oberlin College. I look forward to working with all of you in that endeavor.

Sincerely yours,
Nancy Dye
President
