A strategic plan should keep an institution true to its mission, advance its vision, and honor its values. We developed our strategic plan (2018-2023) through a 10-month collaboration between students, faculty, staff, administration and community stakeholders. Following a series of internal assessments, analysis of best practices, and review of current opportunities, core teams proposed various strategic focuses and critical tasks aligned with five key pillars. All University stakeholders were invited to provide feedback through open forums and digital response platforms. It was endorsed by our Board of Trustees in March 2018.
Each of the five key pillars is supported by a Strategic Implementation Team (SIT), tasked with the ongoing identification of best practices, key goals, success metrics and next steps. These teams remain responsible for implementing these goals within the timelines and budgets they established.
Our strategic plan reflects our strengths and supports new aspirations. As we make progress toward the milestones we have defined together, Embry-Riddle becomes an even more innovative and collaborative place to work, learn, and grow.
