UHMC is in the process of drafting the 2015-2020 UHMC Strategic Plan. The planning phase is designed to be inclusive, responsive, and participatory. The goal is to create a process that ensures that the campus budget reflects agreed-upon college priorities.
UHMC’s strategic planning process is being led by the Strategic Planning Council which includes representation from throughout the campus. This process is guided by our Mission, Vision, Core Values and Institutional Learning Outcomes (BOR approved January, 2014) with campus priorities determined by the assessment of program review documents submitted by each campus unit. Various strategies to improve student success have emerged from those assessments and will be operationalized by standing committees including the Student Success Committee (formerly Achieving the Dream committee), Lau`ulu, and the Distance Learning Committee.
The council has an initial chart to align with the College’s mission, core values, program reviews, UHCC Strategic, UH System strategic plans as well as WASC and AtD recommendations. An initial timeline has been developed.
As of September 2014, these draft priority areas have emerged from the initial scan:
1) Student Success
2) Sustainability of Enhancement of Resources/ Infrastructure
3) Assessment and Improving the Quality of Learning
4) Meeting Community Needs and Workforce
5) Hawai'i Papa O Ke Ao
Next steps for 2015-2020 plan:
- Determine flow of process. Process is to be inclusive and ongoing and will incorporate program reviews from all areas of campus.
o Process will include setting broad strategic goals and strategies to reach the goals.
o Communication flow will be mapped and clearly laid out.
- Agree on timeline for process.
- Determine implementation process and timeline.
