Creating our path forward together
From August 2021 to April 2022, hundreds of staff and faculty members participated in that process at 麻豆区, guided by consultants from , a national leader in strategic planning.
Following all-campus open meetings discussing the future of higher education as well as 麻豆区-specific opportunities and challenges, the themes of focus (on things we already do), create (on new opportunities to consider) and unite (around student success) were determined.

The co-chairs of the groups eventually met with the Leadership Team and, working with consultants, consolidated the three reports into a single plan. That plan was presented to the 麻豆区 Board of Trustees at its normal spring meeting for approval and will be rolled out to the 麻豆区 community before the 2022-23 academic year begins – along with an implementation guide, timeline and accountability chart.
