There is a new leadership team, including the president and all vice presidents, and other members of the senior staff. There is an entirely new strategic plan, Transcending Boundaries of the Map & the Mind, which charts a new vision of a Goucher education, including a significant focus on international and intercultural learning in all disciplines. The new plan is leading to major reform of the curriculum. Undergraduate applications and enrollments are up substantially, as are the credentials of entering students. Graduate programs have grown steadily and prudently. The discount rate is down, finances are sound, and the college is about to obtain its first-ever bond rating. Outstanding new faculty members have been hired in many disciplines. A major construction program is underway. During the summer of 2004, the Campus Loop Road and underground utilities are being moved in order to make room for a new 185-bed residence hall. Two new parking lots will be constructed at the north and south ends of campus, replacing an existing one at the center of campus; a power plant will also be constructed to serve the residence hall and other new buildings. Financing arrangements for the new residence hall will be complete in July, and ground will be broken for this project the following month, in order to complete it in time for occupancy in August 2005. The next step will be construction of the Athenaeum, home of Goucher’s future state-of-the art library and many related facilities, including group study rooms, eating and exercise areas, a commuter lounge, and an open forum. The state of Maryland has provided a $3 million capital grant toward this project, and the required match of these funds from private donations has already been accomplished. When the Athenaeum is complete, the Julia Rogers building that houses the existing library will be renovated to create new classrooms and faculty offices. The “silent phase” of a new capital campaign is underway, and substantial donations have been received to fund the building projects, faculty resources, and the international emphasis in the academic program. A growing number of Goucher students are traveling overseas, many for a full semester or a year of study, but even more to participate in the 14 innovative three-week intensive courses conducted in January or May/June. These programs, interdisciplinary in nature, are preceded and followed by courses on campus in which the students plan for and integrate their exposure to other cultures into their other intellectual experiences. During the coming academic year, the college will introduce its new International Portfolio Program, which will permit students from all disciplines to add a global dimension to their major, complete with language study at the advanced level. This Periodic Review Report has provided Goucher College an opportunity to review our accomplishments and focus on our new goals and plans. We recognize that there is still considerable work to be done in the areas of student retention and the graduation rate, as well as outcomes assessment. The report outlines the concrete steps the college will be taking in those areas before the next Middle States accreditation visit. In the meantime, Goucher is growing, creating, and discovering its future. Executive Summary Goucher College has changed significantly since the time of the last Middle States accreditation visit and report. There is a new leadership team, including the president and all vice presidents, and other members of the senior staff. There is an entirely new strategic plan, Transcending Boundaries of the Map & the Mind, which charts a new vision of a Goucher education, including a significant focus on international and intercultural learning in all disciplines.
