The strategic direction encompasses the college's core Mission, Vision and Values as well as three overarching goals: Student Success, Community Success, and Organizational Excellence and Innovation. You can learn more below.
Message From the President
Dear Friends,
In 2008, we unveiled a five-year Strategic Direction for CNM. Not long after the ink was dry, a historic recession began to set in. Thanks to a well-conceived, thoroughly planned Strategic Direction that guided all of our decision-making, our college achieved great progress despite an era of record budget cuts and soaring enrollment.
In 2013, we don’t know for sure what will be in store for us over the next five years. But we do know that we have a new Strategic Direction that will be our touchstone through the end of 2017.
We have identified three new goals that will set the new course for CNM and all of our employees. I encourage you to read through this document and learn more about the goals that are focused on “Student Success,” “Community Success” and “Organizational Excellence and Innovation.”
Our Vision is “Changing Lives, Building Community.” Through this new Strategic Direction, we intend to change more lives for the better and do our part to build an even stronger community.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katharine Winograd, CNM President
