Pillar IV: We Are An Innovative and Contemporary University

As a leading graduate healthcare institution with a demonstrated commitment to innovation, we strive to maintain a culture that spawns creative thinking across all campus constituencies to meet the evolving needs and expectations of our students, faculty, and staff. Marshall B. Ketchum University’s recent history is a robust story of growth, resilience, adaptation, and impact. To maintain excellence in the educational experiences we offer our students and alumni, we must remain steadfastly dedicated to advancing innovation, ingenuity, and meaningful outcomes, fostering a thriving and inclusive community, and ensuring a strong and sustainable future. These commitments must be foundational and aspirational. 

We must further integrate technology into the classrooms, laboratories, and campus and clinic facilities to enhance the student experience, learning outcomes, and provide skills development for emerging technologies such as AI. Additionally, we must evaluate ways to optimize our human capital and existing infrastructure to meet our sustainability goals.

1) Refine physical spaces to promote efficiency, innovation and collaboration. Enhance the learning and work experience by adopting new technologies.

2) Create and transform supporting facilities and spaces to improve the quality-of-life experiences for students and employees.

3) Continually enhance data resources and harness the information for growth opportunities and program development.

4) Modernize enterprise systems to expand capabilities for students and employees to address academic and operating needs in a timely, responsive, and efficient manner.

5) Expand cybersecurity program capabilities to effectively manage evolving threats.
