Strategic Plan Progress and Key Performance Indicators 

The college has developed a webpage that tracks all progress made on the objectives and tactics in the 2020-25 Strategic Plan, as well as links to the Key Performance Indicators that are impacted by each tactic in the plan. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are the critical (key) quantifiable indicators of progress toward an intended result. KPIs provide a focus for strategic and operational improvement, create an analytical basis for decision making and help focus attention on what matters most (Harlow, 2022).

Prior to the creation of the website detailing Strategic Plan progress, the college's Strategic Planning co-chairs made bi-annual presentations to the campus and Board of Trustees detailing plan progress.  These can be found below:
