Strategic Plan Transform Culture in America


Benedictine College’s board of directors set a new challenge to the college in the year 2020: Transform Culture in America. The college’s vision statement directs the school to “build one of the great Catholic colleges in America” in order to educate students “who will transform the world through their commitment to intellectual, personal, and spiritual greatness.”

To Transform Culture in America, Benedictine plans to:

  • Form students in the mission of community, faith, and scholarship.
  • Advance the mission by preparing our alumni for positions of influence in their careers, neighborhoods, families, and churches, where they can model community, faith, and scholarship.
  • Extend the mission by providing Benedictine College’s unique formation in community, faith, and scholarship to off-campus audiences.
  • Build a campuswide commitment to greatness.

The Benedictine mission of community, faith and scholarship transformed culture in Europe and it can transform culture in America today. In a world of loneliness and polarization, community is the key; in an age of hopelessness and incivility, faith is the key and in a ‘post-truth’ era that is information-rich but analysis-poor, scholarship is the key.
