Message from President Spicer
The world is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and higher education must rise to meet the challenges and opportunities of this transformation. At Baker College, we recognize this as a defining moment that calls for a deep appreciation of our history and a bold vision for the future. This is our opportunity to shape the next generation of leaders by reimagining how we educate, inspire, and empower our students to thrive in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to leading the way in higher education by adapting to the evolving demands of a global workforce. We are enhancing our teaching methods, embracing cutting-edge technologies, and fostering a culture of innovation that prioritizes real-world problem-solving and entrepreneurial thinking. Our goal is clear: to equip our students with the critical skills and forward-thinking mindset necessary to drive meaningful change in their fields and communities.
Central to this vision is our deepening engagement with industry and community organizations. At Baker College, we see ourselves as more than an educational institution—we are a thought partner committed to helping businesses and communities thrive. Our vision extends beyond preparing students for the workforce; we collaborate with industry leaders and community organizations to drive innovation, solve complex challenges, and support sustainable growth. By aligning our academic expertise with real-world needs, we help businesses adapt to change, develop talent pipelines, and explore new expansion opportunities. These partnerships create a dynamic exchange of knowledge and resources, ensuring our partners are positioned for long-term success in an evolving global economy.
I invite you to explore the 2022-24 President’s Report, which highlights the remarkable achievements of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Their success reflects the strength of our community and our shared commitment to excellence. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of education and opportunity.
Thank you for being part of this journey—we have much to celebrate and even more to look forward to.
Jacqui Spicer, Ed.D.
President and CEO
