A Message from the Director

As we begin a new academic year, I want to share Title III/VII Strategic Plan for 2025-2028. Our grants will continue to support strengthening our institution's capacity, and improving academic quality. This funding will allow us to implement significant changes aimed at boosting student success and strengthening our university community.

Our three-year strategic plan focuses on the following three goals

1. Transformative Engagements through Donor Efforts:

Kentucky State University will use a strategic process of building deep, meaningful relationships with supporters to achieve systemic, long-term change. The growth of the relationships will move beyond transactional fundraising, where donations are the primary focus, to a partnership-based approach that empowers donors to feel personally invested in the cause.

2 Ensuring Equitable Student Access:

Kentucky State University will provide every student with the fair and just opportunities and resources they need to succeed, regardless of their background. This involves identifying and removing barriers, providing necessary tools and support, and creating robust learning environments.

3. Graduate Studies: Sustainable Educational Resources by Improving the Utilization of Online Student Services and Promoting Services that Enhance Learning:

To grow graduate programs in an institutional sense, Kentucky State University must focus on targeted educational outreach, improve and engage the utilization of online student services, promote services that enhance the online graduate experience. All require a clear focus on student and program goals, strategic planning, and consistent effort.

  1. Create centralized and accessible support hubs
  2. Proactively promote services to increase awareness
  3. Integrate support into the online learning experience
  4. Design services that directly enhance in-person and online learning

Overall, the goal of the Office of Title III Programs to provide a transformative educational experience for every student and ensure our graduates are prepared to make meaningful contributions to society.

Sincerely,

DeAnna L. Brown, EdD

Director, Title III Programs
