The process of institutional renaissance starts with asking two basic questions about our identity—who are we and what do we aim to accomplish? Inevitably, these questions lead to complex and ongoing conversations around our history, institutional strengths, community assets, and economic demands.

We are building a strategic road map, with a focus on excellence, which reaffirms the future of LeMoyne-Owen College for generations to come. We believe excellence will result from strategic, institutionally beneficial goals also being innovative, intentional, and sustainable. LeMoyne-Owen is poised for growth, success, and economic impact; and now, more than ever, we are prepared to embrace our future.

Institutional Focus
