The Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts will feature the following:
• A 20,000-square-foot addition to the west of Kresge Auditorium will provide the School of Music with
new faculty offices that will double as teaching studios, practice rooms for individual students and small
groups of performers, and purpose-built rehearsal spaces shared by band and orchestra, percussion,
jazz, wind and chamber ensembles. There will be additional classrooms and instructional spaces for
electronic keyboard instruction, music composition and recording technologies. Improvements will
provide better sound quality for instruction, rehearsals and practicing. The purpose-built rehearsal
spaces will free the performance venues (Kresge Auditorium and Thompson Recital Hall) for a wider
variety of events, since they will be in less demand for regular instructional needs.

U N I V E R S I T Y
• The communication and theatre department, which offers DePauw’s most popular major,
will gain classrooms and offices, a computer-aided design workshop, and expanded faculty
and student gathering places. Improved classrooms will include DePauw’s first purpose-
built spaces for the teaching of acting and dance, and a new theater-style classroom will
be suitable for rhetoric and debate as well as for film studies and screenings. Kerr Theater,
DePauw’s blackbox experimental theater space, will be enlarged by 50 percent in the
renovation.
• New lobbies will be created for Moore Theater and Kresge Auditorium, with improved
sound and light locks that will permit simultaneous use of both spaces and adequate
spaces for the audience of either during intermission without disrupting activity in the
other hall.
• A state-of-the-art recording studio will allow performance students to make master record-
ings of their repertoire and will provide facilities for training students in digital recording
techniques.
• An expanded library space will provide improved support for print and recorded collections
of music, communication and theatre with improved listening areas and work stations.
• The project will include much-needed improvements in the temperature and climate
control systems throughout the building.

Securing Our Legacy
2006-2010
The Vision
We are a distinguished university and proud family, nationally recognized for
extraordinary effectiveness in linking liberal arts education with life’s work.
DePauw intellectually challenges students and inspires them to lead and to
serve in an increasingly diverse and rapidly changing world. The value of
the DePauw experience is reflected in the remarkable loyalty and passion
DePauw engenders and in the uncommon success of our graduates.
The Plan
D
By Larry G. Anderson ePauw University is launching a five-year strategic plan called Securing Our
–Editor
Legacy. The plan is based upon the premise that we – all of us in the DePauw
leading national liberal arts university that prepares its students to make a positive difference
13
Led by the Strategic Planning Task Force of the Board of Trustees (see list of members
on page 21), members of our community – trustees, administrators and faculty members
– completed a strategic planning process to identify key initiatives that will build on DePauw’s
historic strengths. This process connected those strengths with three major goals:
1.

of interaction with their professors and opportunities in research, independent projects, senior
theses and internships. We are reaping the benefits of our significant investment in a high-
caliber and greater number of faculty members and a commitment to maintaining salaries at
a competitive level to retain them. The number of DePauw faculty members has grown from
167 in 1998-99 to 229 in 2005-06.
“Academic engagement” further means that students integrate the rich variety of speakers,
symposia, cultural and artistic opportunities available on campus with their coursework and
scholarly interests. To ensure that we attract the kind of student who is prepared to capitalize
on these opportunities, we will build on the tradition of the Rector and Holton Scholarships to
attract the best high school graduates from throughout Indiana, across the country and around
the world. (For students entering DePauw in fall 2005, the median high school class rank was
in the top 9 percent.)
15
Resources needed to implement the strategic plan
In order to implement the plan for Securing Our Legacy, DePauw University, the Board of Trustees and administra-
tion will direct resources in strategic ways that align with the goals and initiatives within the plan. The development
and alumni relations staff members of the University will work under the guidance of the Trustees’ Development and
Alumni Relations Committee to meet the following goals:
• Increase the Annual Fund from $4.5 million to $6.8 million in five years.

Through the Creative and Performing Arts
DePauw’s legacy is one in which the liberal arts curriculum is complemented by a dynamic
environment for the creative and performing arts. Part of what distinguishes DePauw is the
richness that artistic endeavor and appreciation brings to our community and to the lives of
our graduates. Superior programs in the creative and performing arts have produced artists,
musicians, creative writers and generations of graduates whose lives were enriched by arts study
at DePauw.
Recent investments in additional teaching facilities, galleries and spaces constructed solely
for the creation of art enhance each student’s opportunity for creative expression. The Richard
E. Peeler Art Center and William Weston Clarke Emison Museum of Art provide uncommon
opportunities for students and faculty members. We have tripled the number of creative writers
among the faculty members – many of them award winners; we have doubled the number of

Through Ethics and Moral Reflection Prindle Institute for
Ethics.
We want to expand opportunities to engage students in thoughtful, interdisciplinary dis-
cussions of the ethical challenges of life, work and citizenship. DePauw faculty members have
traditionally asked students to consider larger societal issues in their studies.
New program opportunities will enhance this inquiry. The Janet Prindle Institute for Eth-
ics will foster thoughtful interdisciplinary examination of ethical issues, including questions
of justice and policy, character, duty and responsibility. Preparation for citizenship and active
participation in one’s community requires that students identify and analyze moral and ethical
dimensions of issues that may be of personal, national or international importance. In addition
to moral reflection, we encourage students to develop lifelong habits of community service and
philanthropy to support making our world a better place.

Securing Our Legacy
Our goals for the next five years build on DePauw’s foundational strengths of fostering in-
tellectual excellence, building community, valuing diversity and encouraging personal growth.
We are extending the University’s history of academic quality using new and familiar tools to
invigorate the learning environment. Opportunities for students and faculty and staff members
are exceptional. Now is the time to advance our ambitious plans for improved academic engage-
ment, new and exciting programs, and a first-rate physical plant to support DePauw’s tradition
of educational leadership. This preparation and commitment is vital to Securing Our Legacy.
