Planning Structure

The Strategic Planning Committee was organized into five subcommittees covering: 1) Education and Diversity and Inclusion, 2) Biomedical Research and Innovation, 3) Governance, Ethics, Mission, Vision and Core Values, 4) Community Engagement 5) Planning, Resources and Institutional Improvement.

Upon reviewing the prior plan to evaluate how the College performed over the previous strategic planning period, each subcommittee met periodically throughout the year to identify key issues, develop a list of goals and design strategies and tactics necessary to achieve them. In addition, each subcommittee was tasked with developing measurable assessment strategies and benchmarks needed to assess and track the College’s success against each goal.

As part of the early stage strategic planning process, the College mission, vision and core values were reviewed. While the precise wording of these statements have evolved, the foundational College mission and vision are consistent. The College community and stakeholders reviewed these statements by participating in a mission and values survey, as well as a strength and opportunities survey. Survey data was analyzed and feedback was shared with strategic planning subcommittees. Based on the College-wide review of the College’s mission, vision and core values, the following mission and vision statements were approved by the Board of Trustees as part of the NYMC 2021-2026 Strategic Plan.
