Dear CC Community, <\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n
It was rewarding to share updates on Project 2024 and to explore ways of connecting our actions with our aspirations with colleagues at Spring Conference 2023.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
We took inspiration from John F. Kennedy\u2019s directive to NASA in 1962 to \u201cland on the moon by the end of the decade\u201d to brainstorm motivating goals that connect what everyone does here to our institutional vision: to ignite our students\u2019 passion and potential to create a more just world.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Ideas drawn from these and other conversations continue to shape the Project 2024 Steering Committee\u2019s thinking as we turn what we heard in Year 1 into concrete proposals for doing what we do better.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
The work of the committee and of many other students, faculty, and staff who participated in follow-up discussions and in working groups this fall is critical to the success of this multi-year visioning project.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Dor\u00e9 Young \u201923, student body president and steering committee member, shares what she has found rewarding and challenging about participating in Project 2024 and how this process is making an impact.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what else has been underway since my last update in November<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
We have wrapped up Phase Three \u2013 Consolidating Ideas<\/strong>. Throughout Blocks 4 and 5, members of the steering committee narrowed the sets of possibilities advanced by the eight working groups into options to investigate further.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
In addition, four exploratory groups<\/a> have been evaluating these primary challenges:<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
1. The Financial Model\/Access
<\/strong>Exploring higher education\u2019s financial model and its longer-term effects on the college.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
2. Demographics\/Access
<\/strong>Better understanding the potential impact of demographics or the \u201cbirth dearth,\u201d a sharp decline in the number of college-age students beginning in 2026. <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
3. Digital Knowledge – online learning
<\/strong>Thinking about the role of digital learning in a residential college and in the context of the Block Plan.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
4. Digital Knowledge – screen time
<\/strong>Exploring the effects of screen time and social media use on cognitive function and student learning and wellbeing.<\/div>\n
Responding to what we heard last year about <\/span>time <\/strong>and <\/span>connection,<\/strong> this fall we also asked offices and divisions to identify efficiencies and to think about how to enhance collaboration with other offices. These discussions point to both small and larger ways to improve how we do things. <\/span><\/span> <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
We now move into Phase Four \u2013 Vetting and Assessing Options. <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
The working proposals support the overarching theme of last year\u2019s conversations: Connections<\/em><\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
They fall into two main categories:
1. Reinforce Liberal Learning
2. Value Our People<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
In this phase, we\u2019re creating action groups to assess the feasibility of the working proposals. Can we do this? If we can, then we\u2019ll consult broadly on details and process. How do we do this? Answering these questions leads to the next phase: deciding whether the college should enact the initiatives.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Please check our website for ongoing updates<\/a>. You\u2019ll hear from other members of our steering committee about their experiences before the end of the academic year.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Thank you for contributing to this work.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/div>\n
