Creating a new mission statement

A strong strategic plan requires a strong mission statement. It provides the foundation for whatever we as a community choose to build next. A mission statement should be clear, concise, and serve us well through 2023, the target date for the strategic plan. It should also help all stakeholders answer certain basic questions, including:

What is our core purpose as a college?
What makes us distinctive?
What ideals should drive us as we move forward?
