Help shape our vision for the future.

Loyalist College is in the process of developing our new Strategic Plan, which will guide us from 2025 to 2030. This is an important project for Loyalist as we define who we are, where we want to go and what goals we plan to achieve.

We value the input of our diverse stakeholder groups consisting of college administrators, faculty, staff, students, and community and industry partners. All feedback, advice, and insight gathered will be analyzed to identify the college’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, to align the future vision, mission, values, and commitments to common goals and objectives. By involving you in the planning process, we can ensure that our college is responsive, relevant, and resilient in the face of changing circumstances.

Our strategic planning is about managing change and making decisions today that will shape our future. In order to get there, we need to ask ourselves:

• Where is Loyalist now?
• Where do we want Loyalist to be?
• How will Loyalist get there?

This consultation phase is crucial to helping us achieve our goals because it:

• Establishes and clarifies our values, mission, goals, and future vision, and communicates them clearly.
• Sets priorities, aligns the organization, and fosters shared ownership.
• Aligns resources to priority areas.
• Enables Loyalist to build our team (inside and out) and our expertise.
• Fosters relationships and creates accountability.

Once our new Strategic Plan has been developed, it will serve as a map, guiding us on a united path toward our future.
