Strategic Goals Overview
Introduction to the Orientations
The nested structure of the three Orientations – the student within the community within the environment – represents the integrative design of this Strategic Plan. The specific goals, strategies, and actions at each level compose a larger system of interrelationships that echo and reinforce each other. Progress in any one action should have positive ripple effects on multiple other actions.
