Clark Inspired: Strategic framework charts the University’s path forward

Clark University has shared the important components of the University’s strategic framework, Clark Inspired, which is creating the roadmap toward the institution’s brightest future.

The strategic framework has been developed since the fall of 2020, much of it by small working groups and task forces, with input from community members through information sessions and conversations. Clark Inspired puts the framework in front of the broader Clark community — alumni, parents of current students, prospective students, candidates for faculty and staff positions, and friends of the University.

The framework will help guide consequential choices in key areas that include:

• Achieving greater excellence in academic and research programs
• Advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion
• Enhancing the campus experience
• Expanding outward engagement
• Broadening institutional capacity

Active community engagement will be essential to ensuring that the strategic framework continues to evolve ambitiously and thoughtfully, and informs future decision-making.
