Strategic Plan 2020
Building on Our Strengths
Our strategic vision is rooted in our Jesuit identity and connection to New Orleans.
Where Courage Meets Creativity
We’ve identified four core strategies that will help us translate our mission as a Jesuit institution into the language of this generation of students.
Key Objectives
As a result of our 2020 Strategic Plan, we aim to achieve these specific, measurable outcomes.
Retention
Achieve 85% first-to-second year undergraduate retention rate
University Resources
Grow gross revenue by 20% and create budgeted surpluses of 3%
Enrollment
Increase graduate and professional tuition revenue by at least 15%
Visibility
Expand our profile and increase our alumni participation rate
A Collaborative Approach
Hundreds of members of the Loyola community came together, in meetings both formal and informal, to identify Loyola’s strengths and find ways to build upon them. We worked with the university’s standing Strategic Planning Committee and with a creative group of faculty from each college. This was a Jesuit process of discernment, discovering truth through considered conversation and consensus.
Our plan also builds on the work we’ve already done as a university to reflect on our identity and goals for growth. We will expand on the key strengths and areas of opportunity identified in our Strategic Plan for Inclusive Excellence and Mission Priority Examen.
Strategic Plan for Inclusive Excellence
A three-year plan to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion as a core strategic priority for the university.
Mission Priority Examen
A process of institutional reflection resulting in a renewed commitment to our Catholic, Jesuit identity.
2020 Strategic Plan
Loyola is where Jesuit social justice meets New Orleans creativity.
