Framing our Future

While The College of Wooster is always evolving, there are moments in our history where our momentum is especially concentrated on specific challenges of the time. This is one of those moments. Wooster’s three-year strategic plan, Framing our Future, charts significant actions that will fuel our progress well beyond 2027.

Developed with contributions from many across our community, Framing our Future harnesses Wooster’s collective creativity and innovation to bring our extraordinary education to those who will thrive here, drawing students through academic innovations, experiential learning for all, and vibrant residential campus neighborhoods.

Framing our Future is built around three pillars that position our College for continued success and recognition in the future: Pillar I. Achieve Financial Vitality for Extraordinary Student ExperiencePillar II. Re-ignite our Mission and Vision; and Pillar III. Build our Community for the Future.
