Board meetings and strategic plans from Calvin University
This document, an inaugural address, outlines a strategic vision for Calvin College, emphasizing the theme of 'Keeping Faith: Embracing the Tensions in Christian Higher Education.' It challenges the institution to cultivate intellectual, emotional, and spiritual courage to navigate a rapidly changing world while preserving its distinctive history. The vision identifies eight critical tensions to be embraced, including the balance between piety and intellect, teaching and scholarship, individual and community needs, technology-driven society and eternal truths, external recognition and internal motivation, wealth and its obligations, distinctive Christian tradition and academic freedom, and cultural identity and diversity. The overarching goal is to achieve academic excellence rooted in its Reformed Christian identity, fostering a new era of flourishing through creative engagement with these inherent tensions.
This document outlines "The 49507 Initiative," a place-based higher education strategy led by Calvin University, animated by a broader Mission & Vision 2030. The strategy focuses on understanding and enhancing higher education opportunities within the 49507 community. It identifies six main strategic themes from community engagement: Family & Community Connectivity, Future Ambitions, Benefits to Higher Education, Barriers to Higher Education, Ideal Program Features, and Wrap-Around Supports and Resources. The initiative aims to address community needs, strengthen engagement, and develop strategic programming, with plans for continued place-based engagement and phased pilot programs.
The Calvin Core Advising Guide outlines the university's core curriculum, designed to equip students for lives of significance and service through a Reformed Christian intellectual heritage. The curriculum is structured around four main pillars: Foundations, Competencies and Skills, Knowledge and Understanding, and Cross-Disciplinary Integration. It aims to develop basic competencies, broaden knowledge across various disciplines, and foster civic engagement, justice, reconciliation, and renewal.
