AEF Strategic Plan 2022 – 2027
Institutional growth is central to AEF’s strategic aspirational objectives and plans for the period 2022 – 2027.
Growth is not simply about an increase in student enrolment. AEF’s growth ambitions are as much about a commitment to increase our comprehension of AEF’s values – respect, community, sustainability – and how to competently deliver these values both inside and outside the classroom – a commitment to the totality of exceptional programming. AEF’s faculty and staff must grow in tandem with the learning aspirations AEF has for its students, alongside a planned increase in student enrolment.
Student enrolment and partner growth during 2022 – 2027 will be selective and in symmetry with AEF’s ability to support and deliver excellent academic content and exceptional out – of – classroom student experiences.
