Strategic Action Planning Framework

Since we launched our Strategic Action Planning Framework in 2017, the world around us has changed dramatically – and, as advocates and providers of lifelong learning, we acknowledge our obligation to evolve with it.

That's why we've revised our "living" document to reflect not only who we are now and where we are going but also to ensure it serves today's students and their wants and needs.

An equity-focused, inclusive and transformational environment that inspires students, faculty and staff to strive for excellence. A culture of belonging where students, faculty and staff feel seen, heard and valued. A focus on high-quality teaching, research and service to prepare students for personal and professional success while equipping them to be leaders and advocates for social change.

We value student success, authentic learning, inquiry, belonging, partnerships and meaningful change by prioritizing student experience, innovative action, social justice, research advancement and intentional growth.
