  • Brenau Environmental Scanning Report
    ENVIRONMENTAL SCANNING REPORT UPDATE Fall 2012 BRENAU ENVIRONMENTAL SCANNING REPORT PURPOSE AND PROCESS Definition By enabling decision makers to understand current and potential changes taking place in their institutions' external environments, Environmental Scanning provides strategic intelligence useful in determining organizational strategies. Some of the consequences of this activity include: better understanding of the effects of change on organizations, better forecasting skills, and enhanced expectations of change. Most environmental scans review demographics, political climate (e.g., as it impacts funding); technology trends and changes in course delivery, and other “existential” (survival) issues that might be responded to reflexively. Good environmental scanning does this, but also goes beyond and considers factors related to the best interests of society (needs of current students, the economy, job availability, etc) to get a sense of the role it ought to play as it operates under social contracts. Not only should environmental scans look broadly, but also deeply. Consideration of what motivates current and potential faculty and students may be essential to ensuring the institution stays strong. Environmental scanning has become a common practice in higher education, especially among larger institutions. (For a sample list, please see endnote i). It is helpful to understand the context of environmental scanning in an institution’s strategic planning process. By taking stock of emerging threats and opportunities, decision makers can better position an organization to achieve its academic, civic and societal objectives. But environmental scans should not be used to set goals and objectives. Institutions are already chartered to advance cultural and social missions and core visions that relate key aspects of the general welfare such as citizenship and pro-social norms.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, AND SPELMAN COLLEGE PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES FOR LIMITED SPRING IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION AND CAMPUS RESIDENCY ATLANTA, Georgia, November 16, 2020– To allow students and their families the necessary time to prepare for the 2021 spring semester, the presidents of Clark Atlanta University (CAU), Morehouse College, and Spelman College today shared preliminary plans to begin spring courses on February 1, 2021. Reflecting awareness and anticipation of a fall spike in national COVID-19 cases, the plans include an adjusted academic calendar and a limited return to in-person instruction and campus residency for specific groups of students. These plans are subject to change based on public health information which is monitored on an ongoing basis. Each of the institutions will identify and invite cohorts of students to live and/or learn on campus while other students will continue virtual learning. Classes for the 2021 spring semester begin on Monday, February 1, 2021 for all CAU, Morehouse, and Spelman students. AUCC member institution Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), which follows a separate academic calendar, will continue in-person and hybrid instruction and has enhanced health and safety protocols. The Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) will provide both in-person and virtual services for AUC students. After a fall semester of virtual instruction, each institution would ideally prefer to return all students to campus. However, by reducing the number of students on their campuses, CAU, Morehouse, and Spelman are best able to implement rigorous health and safety protocols designed to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
