Our Strategic Plan Refresh
The College of Veterinary Medicine began the process of refreshing its previous strategic plan in the fall of 2022, with consulting group AMC Strategies guiding the effort. College leaders, faculty, staff and trainees worked together to update the plan’s goals and strategies, focusing on helping the college navigate inevitable new challenges and celebrate ongoing successes.
The refreshed plan was completed in the fall of 2023 and implemented at the start of the spring semester of 2024. The strategic plan consists of five interconnected goals, each with specific objectives, that will chart our course for the next five years of excellence in veterinary medicine.
