The Academic Strategy for Lindenwood is built on our commitment to “supporting our students as they strive toward their personal, professional, and academic goals.” The strategic pillar of “Success,” is designed to achieve Goal 2 of the Academic Core Initiative, which is “We raise the bar for how we support the success of our students.” This goal is achieved through four strategies:
- Strategy 2.1: We use data and other evidence to provide proactive and reactive support to our students.
- Strategy 2.2: Our students have access to the support services they need.
- Strategy 2.3: Our Q2 culture ensures students feel a strong sense of belonging.
- Strategy 2.4: Our curriculum is crafted to support and motivate students to achieve their goals.
Q2-Every Student Counts
51 has embraced a culture of Q2 service excellence, as we become the next great learner-centric university. Q2 stands for two simple questions, “what and how.” What do you need and how can I help? But it also encompasses the bigger picture, What are the expectations of our students and colleagues? How can we exceed those expectations, all of the time, for all people? We ask these questions because every student counts.
