Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
While the Middle States self-study process has aligned our strategic plan with our institutional priorities, I have selected this strategic goal by which to articulate the relationship and connection. The self-study process, as designed, is ensuring that our College be able to identify areas of improvement and innovation. This strategic goal has risen to a priority in that the College must not only demonstrate compliance, but also attend to the needs of the students of the future, particularly as impacted by the pandemic.
The intent and purpose of the accreditation process ensures that the College is meeting its mission and goals. Additionally, through the self-study process, institutional priorities are establish; in the case of SUNY Orange, our priorities will align with our Strategic Plan.
