Plattsburgh Next

As we position ourselves for the future, it is critical that we do so in a wise, thoughtful fashion. We have thoughts and ideas that articulate what is important to us, but we have lacked a disciplined strategic plan for sometime. 

 

We must have this in place to discern what is most important for us to do, to invest in, to own as a flagship college of the North Country. We must also have this in place to make specific and rational decisions about how to invest our resources and define a spending plan that expresses our needs and values.

 

As the committee begins its work, here are a few markers to restate here:

• We are committed to current and future students and to ensure we provide them a career-ready education anchored to a foundational liberal arts core. 
• We have an overarching goal to be a truly inclusive academy with high accountability that holds the elimination of equity gaps as a top priority.
• We must build on our institutional strengths. This includes business, education, health care, social justice, STEM, and sustainability.
• We strive to become the flagship college of the North Country, create a culture of college attendance among regional community members, and to increase the number of SUNY Plattsburgh graduates who remain here as valued contributing citizens following the completion of their degrees.
