Evergreen aims to use its resources and capabilities to increase enrollment by 1,000 students within the next five years and to build a better environment for Evergreen’s students, staff, and faculty. The growth will enable Evergreen to achieve an enrollment level that will be the basis for sustainability and sustained long-term growth.
To inform our new Strategic Plan, we engaged our broad community, which included students, staff, faculty, Board of Governors, including alumni, and the Board of Trustees.
After listening sessions, retreats, workshops, focus groups, surveys, and presentations, Evergreen has crafted a Strategic Plan with the following four goals. We are also developing a set of metrics for tracking and measuring successes to guide our phased implementation over the next five years.
