Moving Forward with Three Pillars by Eddie Kenny
The three pillars in Hocker-Hall Grove, originally a part of the administration building on the Winchester campus, are tradition-rich reminders of Wesleyan's proud heritage on three campuses and the College's 163-year commitment to quality education. Under President Thomas Mitzel's leadership and with the input of the Kentucky Wesleyan community, three additional pillars have been developed to guide the College's next steps. As the columns in the Grove honor a proud past, the Three Pillars form a strategic plan for a strong future.
Working groups for each pillar included KWC trustees, faculty, staff, alumni and students. They embarked on strategic sessions to review their charge and begin focused discussions to provide a roadmap of success for the College. Led by President Mitzel and Board of Trustee Chair Sherry Feldpausch '83, the groups were asked to be aspirational with an aggressive timeline to present their priorities at the Board of Trustees' February meeting. The next steps in the strategic process will include sharing the vision with the entire Panther family, while further prioritizing according to needs and capacity to execute each objective.
