President Taylor’s town hall meeting on April 13, explained some of the major changes that are going to improve Cabrini. Here are some important points students should know.
- The Cabrini 2020 roadmap will be furthered with co-chair positions for an operational planning group to be formed in the fall of 2015.
- New partnerships have been established to continue brand development goals along with marketing and SEO goals established during last semester’s fall town hall meeting.
- Partnerships with high schools have reached a total of 14 and the plan is to reach 20 by next year.
- Dr. Taylor will begin to work with the board to globalize Cabrini and expand to Cabrini University and continue to build awareness of Cabrini.
- Dixon House has been renovated to have a “lodge-like theme” and furniture will be brought in over the summer so that students can move-in in the fall. The first sophomore LLC is to be housed there and there has been special attention given to accommodate students with special needs.
- The Dixon Center is set to gain additional square footage for new space including plans for locker rooms, training rooms for athletes, equipment storage, a fitness center, and a campus center with a juice bar. Some of the plans include renovation to the existing spaces in the building with the plans for the center to be completed by fall 2016.
- The Grace Hall Board Room is to begin renovation over the summer to create two video conferencing rooms to make international work easier.
- There are plans to continue diversifying with off-campus programs, online programs, international programs and transfer programs to reach new markets. Visits to Argentina and Spain are planned to help bring international students to campus.
