The Aspiration of Others

Cedar Crest enters into this strategic plan bolstered by the successful outcomes of the last cycle.

Among them are the addition of 17 new academic programs, consecutive years of enrollment growth, a substantial increase in our endowment, and operational surpluses that have allowed us to make enhancements to our physical plant.

Further, we have enacted several programs that make our students’ academic and co-curricular experience one-of-a-kind.

Vision

Becoming the Aspiration of Others

Cedar Crest will be at the forefront of creating innovative academic programs in a wide variety of formats to meet the needs of today’s students.

Cedar Crest will be known as the center for next practice in higher education, in the Lehigh Valley, and nationally.

Cedar Crest will be the intersection at which people of an infinite diversity of ethnicity, national origin, faith, sexual orientation, and identity come together to learn.

Cedar Crest will support students in every way in their quest for success.

Cedar Crest’s planning and building will center around having the maximum impact on critical student experiences.
