Each goal has objectives and outcomes that define our plans for the near future.<\/p>\n<p>In my leadership role, I\u2019m particularly focused on the fourth and final strategic goal: \u201cExpand Corban\u2019s global interaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first global objective is \u201cto provide learning opportunities and educational programs that expand the University\u2019s international presence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How? By pursuing these five outcomes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop a global Ed.D. program that focuses on<br \/>\ninternational Christian education.<\/li>\n<li>Develop an intentional partnership with the Papua<br \/>\ngovernment to academically prepare high school students<br \/>\nfor an international university.<\/li>\n<li>Investigate and design relevant professional development<br \/>\nprograms for international partners.<\/li>\n<li>Publish journal articles describing Corban University\u2019s global impact.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a Center of Global Engagement to train Christian<br \/>\nprofessionals to serve in international contexts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The second global objective is \u201cto diversify the Corban community to reflect the Kingdom of God and prepare students to impact a global and pluralistic society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How? By pursuing these three outcomes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increase the percentage of international students to 10% of<br \/>\ntraditional undergraduate program.<\/li>\n<li>Increase ethnic diversity in the student population to match<br \/>\nPacific Northwest demographics.<\/li>\n<li>Develop employee recruitment and retention strategy to attract<br \/>\nand retain qualified, ethnically diverse faculty and staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The third and final global objective is \u201cto network with other globally-minded organizations to further the Gospel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How? By pursuing these two outcomes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Achieve the lead host position for the annual international conference<br \/>\nat UPH, which can benefit like-minded partners in education.<\/li>\n<li>Establish two other programs at our AMBEX partnership in Regensburg.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do any of these outcomes excite you?
