THE FRANK BATTEN SCHOOL of Leadership and Public Policy completed its fifth operating year in June 2013. Generous private support enables the School to aggressively pursue strategic directions and deliver its unique educational offering in an intimate and historic setting where students, faculty, staff, and distinugished guests form a tight-knit community of policy scholars, students, and advocates. The School is fueled by three sources of revenue: tuition and fees, annual gifts, and the endowment.
Consistent with the priorities articulated in its strategic plan, the Batten School continues to grow and diversify as it moves from a start-up to a maturing enterprise. Since our opening five years ago, an undergraduate degree program was launched, additional tenure-track faculty were hired in a range of disciplines, the student co-curricular experience was enhanced, and School enrollment doubled. Expenditures support instruction in three degree programs, fund a growing research portfolio through faculty start-up packages, and attract diverse and talented students using financial aid and fellowships.
A visionary founding gift and generous annual support, paired with fiscal strategies that facilitated growth while consolidating gains, financed the founding of the Frank Batten School. Over the next five years, the School will use this solid foundation to launch initiatives that change conversations in the leadership and public policy arenas.
