I hope you have had a pleasant and productive summer. It is almost impossible to believe that the new academic year is soon upon us, but here we are!
Over the last nearly five years, Peabody has enjoyed a strong trajectory of change and growth through the implementation of the
Breakthrough Plan
- touching virtually every aspect of the institution including enrollment, the implementation of new programs, curriculum innovation, diversity, faculty governance and recruitment, community engagement, Peabody’s relevance and unique role as a school in one of the world’s top research institutions, and the Institute’s financial health and sustainability.
With multiple years now under our belt and with the completion of a successful five-year divisional review last spring, it is timely for us to engage in a renewal process to take stock of the Breakthrough Plan today, and to assess the ongoing fit of initiatives in support of the Five Pillars - Excellence, Interdisciplinary Experiences, Innovation, Community Connectivity, and Diversity - and to make refinements and revisions within the framework of the plan to position Peabody for the next five years.
This process will engage and seek the input of faculty, staff, students, volunteers, and alumni in order to help shape the next incarnation of Peabody’s Breakthrough Plan. I look forward to keeping you updated on this important work as we move forward in the coming months.
