2021 -22 Strategic Plan

Our five-year strategic plan ends in 2021, an unprecedented time for the world in the midst of the worst pandemic in over a century. We are also preparing our self-study report for institutional accreditation, a time for reflection and analysis. Planning for an extended period does not feel possible when so much is uncertain. The College has elected to set its priorities for the next year only based on the focus areas from the previous strategic plan and the emerging priorities of the pandemic. The next five-year plan will be informed by the analysis of the accreditation process.

Focus Areas:

  • Student Success and Well-Being
  • Financial Sustainability
  • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Racial Justice
  • Planning for the Future
