The Student Affairs Strategic Plan aims to move the division forward with unified, aspirational, and actionable priorities. The priorities are based on insights and recommendations from five staff working groups:

Transforming the Student Experience

Culture of Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

We aim to recognize diversity in staff needs and prioritize equitable practices to ensure all staff and community members feel they belong, are valued for their contributions, and can show up as their authentic selves.

Financial Stability

We work to promote an equitable division-wide culture that aligns our fiscal priorities with our values of fiscal accountability, transparency, and stability.

Health Justice & Holistic Well-Being
