Looking to the
FUTURE By Jen Gunnels Since launching the Butler Beyond strategic direction in October 2019, considerable progress has been made in actualizing this vision through new strategic programs and initiatives designed to extend Butler’s reach beyond today’s students and beyond the current borders of campus. The Butler Beyond vision statement provides a guiding blueprint for how and why Butler is pursuing these strategic efforts: BUTLER UNIVERSITY IS AT THE CROSSROADS of tradition and transformation. Our founding ideals of educational equity and academic excellence compel us to boldly innovate and expansively educate—thereby strengthening the positive impact we make on the learners and communities we serve. With the help of committed community partners, this vision is coming to life through a number of new programs and collaborative initiatives.
“These programs and partnerships are examples of our strategic efforts to take Butler Beyond by co-creating in-demand programs and experiences and expanding the way we think about the future of education.”
