Strategic Plan

As stated in the plan’s approved Affirmation Statement:

“The University’s goals are a concise expression of our institutional aspirations. Thus, it is important to recognize that student success is meant to encompass the full range of student experiences and opportunities while at the University. We also recognize that an intrinsic part of achieving these goals must include ensuring the University’s excellence and the attainment of its mission through effective institutional processes, shared decision-making and transparent best practices.”
