2019-2024 Strategic Plan
The ACPHS Strategic Plan was the product of a year long process driven by input from students, faculty, and staff. Feedback was solicited across a series of platforms including town hall forums, online surveys, and campus-wide expos before being organized into the final plan.
The Strategic Plan secures the future of the College in two ways. First, it defines who we are. Our mission statement, core values, and vision principles provide an identity for us. That identity gives us a certain set of “guardrails” and provides guidance as to where we should focus our institutional energy.
Second, the Plan ensures we will provide our students with the best experience possible by promoting a student centered environment - physically, socially, and intellectually.
