Our Strategic Plan
Imagine, Macalester
The Imagine, Macalester strategic plan amplifies what makes us distinctive: the powerful combination of a signature liberal arts curriculum, grounded in a residential campus experience, focused on our unique location in the vibrant Twin Cities, with an emphasis on citizenship within the wider world.
Through a series of interrelated initiatives, we are advancing strategic priorities in the areas of curriculum, culture, and campus infrastructure.

Key Performance Indicators
We’re using five key performance indicators (KPI) to track progress towards our goals. No one office or department will move the needle single-handedly. Instead, progress requires collective and coordinated effort. Every member of our community will facilitate the change we seek.
