Our strategic planning project, led by CampusWorks, is designed to harness our collective aspirations and outline a clear, actionable path for growth and innovation.
About the Project
Please note that this website is a work in progress and will be developed further throughout the strategic planning process.
The framework for our plan includes:
Mission Statement: Our core purpose and reason for being.
Student Experience: A vision shaped by extensive consultations to enhance every learner’s journey.
Strategic Imperatives: Broad goals supported by measurable objectives to guide our progress.
Vision Statement: Our ambitious goals for the future of our community and region.
Values: The core beliefs that define our culture and inform our actions.
This is a chance for every one of us—students, faculty, staff, and community members—to contribute to a blueprint that respects our heritage while looking ahead to exciting new challenges and opportunities.
