Pillars and Goals
We have identified five pillars that reinforce our mission, vision and core values. 它们是推动我们战略计划向前发展的关键优先事项. We have called it a roadmap because we recognize that with yearly reviews there will be the need to refocus and strategize to stay relevant based on our scans of the environment. Each pillar is broken up into specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-based (SMART) goals that will serve as the focus of our actions in the following years.
- Academic Excellence
- Quality Student Experience
- People and Culture
- Engaging with Communities
- Financial Strength & Stewardship

Our academic reputation and enrollment are boosted by a self-sustaining research program with 20 extramurally funded faculty members, as well as the reputation of CBET, a critical part of the regional biopharma ecosystem we have helped cultivate.
