THE PURPOSE OF A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGIC PLAN TO

INVOLVE, ENGAGE, AND INSPIRE

The strategic planning process began in February 2022 and engaged the entire campus community across all departments. The plan includes the dreams, vision, and ideas of administration, trustees, faculty, staff and student representatives.

A representative steering committee was formed to refine the plan on behalf of the campus community and through their work the strategies, goals, and initiatives were developed based upon the following three themes:

THEME ONE: INNOVATE

To embrace, inspire, and facilitate change that adds value to the university and promotes excellence, efficiency, and financial viability.

THEME TWO: ILLUMINATE

To elevate the core values that characterize the university’s mission and embodies the qualities of a pioneer.

THEME THREE: RISE

To advance the institutional story through financial stability and industry excellence.
