Strategic Plan Update

Strategic Plan Is Taking Shape Indiana Wesleyan University’s Strategic Plan, which began to take shape in the spring of 1997, now is in the process of being implemented. Six priorities have been defined and teams have been established to implement these strategic priorities. The six priorities are: • Define and implement world-changing outcomes. Professional development is a part of this priority. • Assess learning and institutional effectiveness.. • Develop a leadership center. • Formulate a growth plan for the University. This includes an image/marketing campaign. • Evaluate academic structural changes. • Establish a technology plan. In coming issues of the Triangle, we will provide details of each of the six priorities. We begin in this issue with a discussion of World-Changing Outcomes. The strategic planning committee has been meeting for more than a year. Priority No. 1: World-Changing Outcomes Indiana Wesleyan University’s commitment to develop students who will change the world lies at the very heart of the university’s strategic plan. The plan began to take shape two years ago and now has reached the implementation stage. It is only logical that the first of six strategic priorities is to develop world-changing outcomes. Dr. Clarence “Bud’” Bence, chair of the Division of Religion and Philosophy, is the chair of the leadership team that is implementing that priority. Other members of the committee are Dr. By Baylis, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the University; Mark Smith, Associate Dean of Adult and Professional Studies (APS), and Robert Thompson, Associate Dean for Residence Life. The committee has defined a world changer as a servant leader who exhibits various levels of knowledge, skills and dispositions (or attitudes and beliefs). It is the intent of the strategic plan that all programs and services of IWU will be developed with the following outcomes in mind. Here is a detailed outline of each of those categories of outcomes: KNOWLEDGE • Basics of the Christian faith: Know the basic themes and truths of the Old and New Testaments and the basic beliefs of Christianity. Be aware of Bible-based morality and social responsibility. A reasoned knowledgeunderstanding of the Christian faith and the meaning of salvation as expressed in evangelical Christianity. • Liberal arts foundation: A solid grasp of the general studies that have traditionally been associated with a liberal arts education. • Competency in a major: Competency in at least one major discipline of the university curriculum. • Integration of knowledge: The integration of knowledge with one’s faith and across academic disciplines.

SKILLS • Creativity: The ability to make connections between various bodies of information and to create new forms and structures. • Critical thinking: The ability to process information both analytically and critically in order to determineskills the validity of competing truth claims, and to be an effective problem solver. • Communication skills: The ability to read for meaning, to write effectively and to communicate ideas clearly. w • Self-discipline: The development of personal habits of self-discipline and control. • Life-long learning: The ability to discover and process information as a self-directed learner. • Leadership skills: The student exhibits leadership skills — the ability to effect change within various group settings; to martial resources to accomplish one’s vision. • Servanthood: The ability to see and meet the needs of others.

Strategic Plan Update

DISPOSITIONS (Attitudes & Beliefs) • Commitment to truth: A commitment to the search for objective truth as revealed in the Bible. • Inclusion: The desire to dialogue with people of other cultures and/or perspectives without dispositionssurrendering one’s own commitment to truth. • Human worth: A belief that God created all life and, therefore, all people have worth. • Stewardship: A valuing of the created order as a trust from God and a commitment to the wise use of all the resources of life. • Life calling: Cultivation of a sense of mission and a passion to pursue God’s call. • Service: One’s career and service to others will be viewed as a vocation (calling) rather than an obligation or an end in itself. • Selflessness: Belief to put others before self.

“Defining world-changing outcomes is an important first step to objectively quantify what our mission is all about,” says Ross Hoffman, Assistant to the President. “Basically, what the outcomes say is that we’re going to change the world by developing students in character, leadership and scholarship. Once we get a handle on what we want to do, we can actually begin to revise curriculum and rewrite our courses to achieve what we’re saying we want to achieve.” Mr. Hoffman has coordinated the strategic planning process since its inception in the spring of 1997. Now that the world-changing outcomes have been defined, the next step becomes professional development. “Professional development opportunities will assist faculty in focusing their thinking in terms of world-changing students, world-changing curricula and becoming world changers themselves,” says Dr. Jim Barnes, IWU president. “I’m sure every course that’s rewritten will not address every one of the world-changing outcomes on the list, but I am sure they will address at least one knowledge-based, one skill-based, and one attitudinal-based outcome.” Dr. Barnes says the strategic plan provides for stipends for faculty members to rewrite curriculum. Mr. Hoffman says there will be workshops, outside speakers and other resources available to assist with professional development.

Dr. By Baylis Dr. Jim Barnes & Dr. Todd Voss Ross Hoffman Dr. B.J. Fratzke, Chair of the Division of Behavioral Sciences, is chair of the professional development team. Other team members are Dr. William McDowell, Vice President for Financial Affairs; Tom Lehman ‘92, Director of Faculty Recruitment for APS, and Rick Rieder, Director of Personnel and Auxiliary Services. “The central challenge, if we are to accomplish our mission and our vision, is to transform the mindset of Indiana Wesleyan. It can’t be business as usual or changing a few minor components,” Mr. Hoffman says. “There are already fantastic faculty and support people at Indiana Wesleyan doing tremendous work. Our professional development simply needs to enable each person worldwho works at IWU to be very intentional about his or her role in preparing our students – both traditional and APS – to change the world.” Each of the six priorities developed by the strategic planning committee will have an assessment component. “That’s the backbone of strategic planning,” Mr. Hoffman says. “The assessment component will enable us to see if we’re really achieving what we say we’re all changersabout.”

Anna continued to spend the winters in their condominium at New Port Richey, Fla., until 1994 when she decided to sell it. After exploring several alternatives, Anna decided to transfer her condominium to IWU in exchange for an IWU gift annuity. She was glad to avoid the hassle of selling the property and was pleased to lock in a high payout rate with her annuity.

Josephine Murphy moved to Colonial Oaks Retirement Apartments at the urging of her daughter, Fran Petroff (Master’s of Nursing, 1990). Colonial Oaks is owned by IWU and is located a few blocks south of campus. Josephine loves to attend the various special events and musical productions on campus. As a result of her love for young people and her desire to make a difference, she invested in an IWU annuity. She is thrilled with the income it pays her, but her greatest joy comes in knowing that she will permanently fund three scholarships in the future. Josephine’s vibrant spirit is infectious and an encouragement to the students she meets.

Please consider the legacy you could leave with a gift annuity at IWU. Gift annuities pay you and your spouse a guaranteed income for life, give you a sizable tax deduction and avoid capital gains tax when funded with appreciated property. The payout rates for lifetime income are as follows:

One Life Two Life Age Rate Age Rate 65 7.0 65/65 6.6 70 7.5 70/70 6.8 75 8.2 75/75 7.3 80 9.2 80/80 8.0 85 10.0 85/85 9.0

While we didn’t disagree with message in less than 5 minutes.
