A Compass for Our College
Co-created by members of the college community, our strategic plan and culture charter define our vision, mission, values and priorities. They are our compass, directing us all to shape the conversation to build a better future.
The plan provides a common course for leaders and community members to align their unique work and collectively move the college forward. It guides us to seize opportunities for innovation and collaboration; confront inequities in the college and beyond; and bring critical questions and ideas to the grand challenges of our time.
