2026-2027 Strategic Action Agenda
The Strategic Action Agenda (SAA), issued annually by the President, focuses the College鈥檚 shared efforts on key initiatives within the current Strategic Plan.
Each SAA priority advances one of the Strategic Plan鈥檚 six foundations through a defined institutional action, identifying a select number of College-wide efforts for coordinated attention, while broader work in support of the Plan continues across the institution.
This approach helps ensure both accountability and momentum.
