Lynn University

(561) 237-7000
In 2006, when we embarked on our Lynn 2020 strategic plan, our vision was to be recognized as one of the most “innovative, international and individualized” small universities in the country. Hosting a U.S. presidential debate and iPad-powered learning weren’t in the plan, but we did those, too. Lynn brought the 2012 presidential debate on foreign policy to our internationally diverse community. It generated more than $13 million in positive economic impact and $63.7 million in earned media for our region. The technology infrastructure enhancements for the debate also enabled us to become one of the first schools in the nation to implement tablet-based learning. It was a bold move that put a transformational learning device into the hands of every student, improving engagement and saving up to 90 percent on the cost of textbooks. This blend of experimentation and strategic opportunism is a hallmark of the Lynn way: experiment, evaluate outcomes and remain open to strategic opportunities that embolden us to learn and thrive.
