| Mission | |
| School mission: | The Board of Trustees of Rosemont College approved a Strategic Plan which will emphasize and expand the College's enrollment, programs, and reputation by embracing co-education, partnerships, and online education. The approved Plan proposes that the College will open its doors at the undergraduate level to all interested and qualified women and men in the fall of 2009, unifying the College's three schools and expanding the College's mission of being a community of learners. In addition to changes on the undergraduate level, the approved Plan proposes major changes in the Schools of Graduate and Professional Studies, specifically expanding online degrees. Goals of the Strategic Plan: Define our identity as a fully co educational institution refounded on our dedication to the College's Catholic and Cornelian mission, sensitivity to market realities, and commitment to diversity. Establish our academic program niche, revitalize our curriculum, and establish flagship programs and institutional partnerships in support of the themes of developing ethical leaders, environmental sustainability, and multiculturalism. Build a vibrant and engaging campus environment characterized by a commitment to student-centered teaching, service, and support, meaningful cross-cultural interaction and understanding, and abundant opportunities for personal and intellectual growth. Articulate clearly and effectively our identity and brand promise to the marketplace. Develop an institutional culture and organization that is flexible, collaborative, and competitive. Achieve financial stability while investing shrewdly in our physical and operational infrastructure. Rosemont College was founded in 1921 by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus (SHCJ). From the institution's early days through the present, the SHCJ foundress Cornelia Connelly has been a driving force behind Rosemont's charge to educate students to meet the wants of the age, which has been an integral part of the growth of the College. Over the years the College has evolved to meet the wants of the age by developing as one college with three schools: the Undergraduate Women's College (UWC) and the Schools of Graduate and Professional Studies (SGPS). While the UWC has remained single-sex, the SGPS programs have enrolled both men and women since their inception in the mid-1980s. Rosemont is, and continues to be, the world's only Catholic college offering Cornelia Connelly's solid education with holistic development, individual attention to talents, and with excellence and joy, said President Sharon Latchaw Hirsh, Ph.D. The Strategic Plan gives Rosemont the opportunity to expand the College in enrollment, programs, and reputation by embracing co-education, partnerships, and online education. Rosemont is ready to meet the wants of the age. Today, Hirsh said, we band together and move our beloved College into a healthy, bright, and mission driven future. Together, we shall expand the College to meet the wants of the age. |
