Destination 2032

With the Forester ethos as the touchstone for the Huntington University experience, in 10 years HU will be home to a diverse population of students who will share their lives and worldviews with one another through a lens of faith. That same Forester ethos will revitalize the student life experience, deepening the feeling of community that is at the heart of the HU experience for so many and revolutionizing it for this generation and the next.

There will be new spaces and approaches that support student engagement and increase the feeling of belonging for a larger student body that experiences HU at multiple locations. Students will benefit from a diverse, robust set of experiential learning opportunities. They will also benefit from an education that is informed by our laser focus on six core learning outcomes — faith integration, critical thinking, communication, cultural intelligence, empirical thinking and creative expression. Through these means, graduates will matriculate from HU as jobready and life-ready.

We will have achieved this growth by developing new locations, investing in high-margin/high-demand programs and benefiting from a wide range of strategic partnerships. The University will have become even stronger financially by having delivered more and more value to students and attracting the investment of alumni and other supporters.

As Foresters near and far celebrate 125 years of Christ, scholarship and service in 2022, we cling to the belief that in many ways, this is only the beginning. Those who have come before us have planted the seeds that have been watered by subsequent generations. Those roots have taken hold and have produced a Forest of Foresters thousands strong. We look to the future thanks to the strength of our past as we continue to build a place of higher education that is committed, as always, to Christ, scholarship and service.
