Key Imperatives & College Goals

In order to successfully carry out our Mission, the four Key Imperatives must be the focus. The College Goals are the top priorities for the year and are in service of the Mission. From there, department and individual goal plans align and cascade down to all employees.

Creating the Current Plan

For the first time, our strategic plan was created 100% virtually. This meant the team couldn’t work in a conference room in small table discussions with flip charts and post-it notes. The team explored new ways to engage participants using Zoom® breakout rooms, Google® Docs, Padlet®, and Piccles®. These tools helped facilitate group participation.
