Strategic Plan: Higher Education at the Speed of Life

Ivy Tech Terre Haute's Strategic Plan

Our world is changing so fast. Our communities are growing and attracting new industries that
need uniquely skilled workers. Our students’ needs are shifting, requiring the way we deliver
our high-quality curriculum to adapt. These changes call for flexibility, innovation, and efficiency.
What got us to where we are won’t get us to where we need to be. At Ivy Tech, we are focused
on the future. We are keenly aware of the essential role we play in our region, and how we must
be nimble as a key partner in West Central Indiana. It’s why we have named our new strategic
plan Higher Education at the Speed of Life.

Our goals focus on four core areas of impact

  • Introduction

    Faculty have the most direct impact on student success and act as a bridge between academic and workforce offerings. As an open-access institution, the classroom experience must innovate and adapt to the diverse needs of learners. Ivy Tech is committed to investing in the development of our faculty. Ivy Tech will expand skills and practices by leveraging technologies, modalities, instructional practices, training, and other means outlined in our strategies.

    • Strategy 1: Ensure courses are offered in modalities that best lead to student success.
    • Strategy 2: Create a culture of instructional excellence and student engagement.
    • Strategy 3: Focus on gateway courses where first-attempt course pass rates are low.

     

  • Introduction

    Ivy Tech is Indiana’s workforce engine and must innovate and rapidly respond to employer needs, economic changes, and workforce requests. The transforming needs of Indiana’s current employers and future projected economic growth require seamless opportunities for students to achieve credentials, certifications, degrees, and other industry training. Students – both current and future – will be informed of Indiana’s diverse career opportunities and empowered to succeed with in-demand careers.

    • Strategy 1: Proactively evolve curriculum and skills training to meet projected workforce needs.
    • Strategy 2: Leverage employer relations to increase the connection between students and the local workforce.

    Ivy Tech excels in managing effective operations of a large institution by optimizing resources, leveraging the skills of team members across the enterprise, and engaging with external partners for expertise and subject-matter support.
