Objective
DC is engaged in an intensive and transparent process to develop a comprehensive, forward-thinking strategic plan for DC that builds on the successes of the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan and positions the college to achieve greater heights. The new Strategic Plan will define the college's mission, vision, and values, along with clear goals and objectives.
The project will involve completing an environmental scan, conducting thorough internal and external consultations, data analysis, ensuring transparent and timely communication throughout the process, and then developing a plan for the Board’s approval, resulting in an official launch in spring 2025.
