Institutional Written Plan: Strategic Plan

Our mission is simple: to produce top quality, Licensed Estheticians with exceptional knowledge of the skin from a scientific and clinical level - in order to obtain gainful employment and make a difference in the lives of their clients.

The institutional vision of esthetics excellence provides students with both technical skills and problem-solving capabilities through a clinical approach, to graduate students that are competent experts in their field - while also providing a level of expertise that provides employers with the skilled Estheticians needed in their facilities.

Southeastern Esthetics Institute is an established esthetics institute that does many things well. The strength of our institution lies in:

• academic excellence • strong and dedicated faculty • successful student advisement & admissions • intellectual environment • moral and ethical teachings • sense of community • science-based skin education • school-wide traditions • small class-size • open-door policy between students & teachers • individualized attention to students • training students in critical thinking • intellectual freedom • diversity • deep respect for learning and culture of academic rigor • strong student body with vigorous work ethic • fostering a sense of self-reliance in students • culture of respect, tolerance, and kindness

Because Southeastern Esthetics Institute’s mission statement - our idea of excellence - was strongly affirmed, this extraordinary declaration of principle has guided us throughout.

It is with great pleasure — and deep gratitude for the help of our Institutional Advisory Committee, Instructors & Administrative Team — that we present here the strategic planning goals and recommendations for Southeastern Esthetics Institute for the next 3-5 years.

Identity. Goal. Southeastern Esthetics Institute will ensure that we are living true to our mission- driven understanding of ourself as a vibrant educational community animated by the core commitments that have defined the student experience : the centrality of the conversation between inspiring, challenging, caring teachers and curious, hard-working, engaged students; high academic and ethical standards maintained with integrity and understanding; attentiveness to the intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and physical needs of students; and a governing vision of education as a lever for societal improvement and a cradle for civic engagement. Strategies. • Examine the range of academic abilities that SEEI is best positioned to serve. • Improve the culture and practice of open communication within the school community — among faculty; between faculty and administrators; and between the school and students — that leads to collegiality and shared understandings that serve the best interests of the “whole person” and assures that students, teachers, and administrators build a supportive partnership. • Examine our requirements, expectations, practices, and assumptions based on the recognition that student success is driven in part by well-being, balance, and social connection; enable students at every stage in the program to experience “the promise and joy of Southeastern Esthetics Institute; this will involve scrutiny of: > the evolving roles and responsibilities of advisors > the extensive course load and academic responsibilities of students > the ways in which the school can address issues of school-life balance for each student • Assure that our program provides students with opportunities and connections needed to excel in advanced esthetics careers • Maintain the current size of the student population while taking care of our alumni - and creating relationships with new and upcoming students

Academic Program. Goal. Southeastern Esthetics Institute will enrich its academic program by strengthening curriculum with updated information from all perspectives and through all disciplines, with special emphasis on science-based skin education; increasing inter-disciplinary studies; and expanding opportunities for students to distinguish themselves in areas of special interest or ability. Strategies. • All academic disciplines at SEEI will regularly conduct comprehensive curricular review, involving both internal and external assessments, with the intention of spurring dialogue about curricula and professional practices which will enhance Southeastern Esthetics Institute’s educational excellence. • The school will examine the structure and organization of our offerings - specifically the additional

certification courses students are able to add to their license. • The institute will examine their core competencies to be sure they provide students with the foundation

needed to engage successfully in meaningful work as a Licensed Esthetician. Administration will also regularly analyze and update offerings to ensure they align with state regulations and school-wide mission and vision.

• The school will provide the faculty with the support needed to integrate, into their teaching, technologies that will enhance instruction and provide students with essential educational tools to enhance their learning experience in the classroom. • The school will actively seek partnerships with industry leaders, employers, and other civic organizations that will augment students’ learning experiences and help students apply what they learn in real-world settings wherever possible.

Global Industry Excellence. Goal Southeastern Esthetics Institute will ensure that its academic program and opportunities actively prepare students to be engaged citizens of the esthetics industry within the city, nation, and world. Strategies • Examine our curriculum for worldly esthetics protocols and treatment that set our students apart in any setting. • Add culturally diverse spa protocols and standards to our curriculum and activities that expand student mindsets and horizons on opportunities available in other parts of our country - and worldwide. • Re-examine our philosophy and practice around local, national, and international industry practices in order for students to receive the most enriching, possible experiences at every level; ensure that funding is in place so that no student is precluded from participating in these opportunities. • Seek to increase and broaden opportunities for students seeking employment in other parts of the country and other parts of the world ; add these options to our Job Postings page regularly for students to view. • Re-conceive our community service initiatives to include service learning (i.e., community service tied

to the curriculum and characterized by “research, reach out, and reflection”) that offers internal, local, national, and international service opportunities as appropriate for all students.

• Provide education and information on national trade shows through our website - for students to obtain education beyond their tenure within our institute.

Professional Development. Goal Southeastern Esthetics Institute will make professional conversation about excellence in teaching and learning central to the institutional culture and will ensure that this dialogue animates and informs an enhanced professional development program. Strategies • Identify and then prioritize critical professional development topics that are school-wide—as well as specific to each level of the course —by examining the curriculum and other priorities that emerge from the Institutional Advisory Committee meetings. • Ensure that faculty and staff work with their supervisors each year to set—and re-visit periodically throughout the year— individual professional development goals specific to their areas of academic program, teaching, or responsibility as well as ones related to identified institutional topics; these individual goals should engage the faculty and staff as they work to challenge the mindsets of our students. • Create time in faculty and staff’s schedules for individual and collaborative learning on the topics identified, and also for faculty and staff to share with each other the expertise, information, and skills they have gained from all resources. • Increase funding for faculty and staff professional development to approximately 1% of the school’s operating budget. • Clarify criteria for professional excellence so that the faculty and administration have a shared understanding about outstanding classroom teaching, effective goal-setting, the importance of continuous professional growth, valuable community contributions, and more. • Develop a revamped faculty and staff evaluation system which assesses and recognizes faculty and staff for their professional excellence (whether in the classroom, on the field, or elsewhere), including their dedication to continuous professional growth and improvement; consider a more frequent evaluation cycle for faculty (including department heads) and staff than presently exists.

Facilities. Goal Southeastern Esthetics Institute will create a physical environment that improves the efficacy of student outcomes while meeting the goals of this strategic plan - and providing students with the modern learning facility they deserve, for constant inspiration and stimulation for the enhancement of their educational experience.

Strategies • Expand and enhance Southeastern Esthetics Institute’s facilities within the current campus footprint in order to provide needed additional space; this expansion may include additional instructional and learning space through a second-floor mezzanine within 12 months - in addition to media supplies needed within this new addition. • Address in the expansion and renovation plans the specific facilities needs associated with enhanced esthetics education. • Review, revise, and prioritize the elements in the existing facilities master plan in light of the recommendations contained in this strategic plan. • Develop, with the School’s architects, a time-, program-, and priority-based implementation plan that delineates needed additional square footage and gains in use-efficiency through renovations. • Ensure expansion and renovation planning is consistent with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines and a commitment to creating — to the greatest degree achievable — an environmentally responsible and sustainable facility.

Financial Plan. Goal Southeastern Esthetics Institute will develop a financial model that enhances the learning objectives of each student, provides financial security for its team members, and produces quality licensed providers for years to come. Strategies • Provide the resources — compensation, professional development, technology, and facilities — that will enable Southeastern Esthetics Institute to attract and retain teachers, administrators, staff, and students who will continue to build the dynamic learning environment expressed in the mission statement. • Consider compensation models that emphasize and reward excellence in teaching and continuous professional growth as well as contributions to the life of the school. • Maintain our present budgetary commitment to tuition assistance (as a percentage of tuition revenue) while seeking new endowment resources that would enable expansion of the financial aid program consistent with other strategic initiatives; seek, as a matter of priority, to increase socio-economic diversity through appropriate re-allocation of current funding and expanded outreach efforts. • Develop a long-term financial model aimed at reducing SEEI’s tuition dependence and increasing our ability to respond to new and emerging educational opportunities. • Provide the resources necessary to achieve the goals and aspirations of this strategic plan through enhanced fundraising efforts and endowment growth.

The strategic plan is reviewed by faculty, administration, and institutional advisory committee and revised annually, and as necessary. The results of the evaluation of progress towards achieving the objectives are documented annually.
