Dietrich College Strategic Plan 

Our Access, Opportunity and Community Impact Strategic Plan is currently under construction.

Dietrich College is committed to creating a vibrant community that promotes civility, respect and excellence, fostering an environment where learning and meaningful connections can flourish. These efforts are transforming the college into an environment where everyone benefits from being exposed to a wide-range of ideas, experiences and perspectives. Because we believe inclusivity is a way of life, we continue to enhance the types of programs, events and resources offered to best embrace our diverse community.

Seeking Your Feedback

The Dietrich College Strategic Plan Implementation Committee is seeking your feedback as we update our strategic plan. Dietrich College community members are invited to share feedback about how we can best support you going forward.

A feedback form will be available in the near future
