Letter from the President

When we launched our Strategic Plan in 2022, the college was emerging from one of the most difficult challenges it had ever faced. The plan took these challenges into consideration and sought to balance the need to manage the impact of a global crisis with the need to continue planning a better way forward and brighter future for our college.

Since then, a lot has changed. Today we face new challenges, but the lessons we have learned and the great work that has already been done give us confidence in the direction we are headed.

We have achieved some of what we set out to do in the initial plan, while in other areas our priorities have evolved. The extended Strategic Plan has been updated to reflect the realties we face today. A renewed focus in the number of strategic directions have been added that better reflect the needs. It has also been extended to 2027 to give us time to do the things we need to do to achieve our vision.

Today we face new challenges, but the lessons we have learned and the great work that has already been done give us confidence in the direction we are headed.

This plan is a compass, not a roadmap. Rather than defining how we will achieve the aspirations outlined within it, it serves as a guide, allowing us to adjust our course along the way. This flexibility is important. Our world is changing faster than it ever has before. We must be ready, and willing, to change with it.

This plan belongs to all of us. Years from now, when we and others look back on this journey, our success won’t be measured in terms of how many courses or programs we offered, how many awards we won, or how many buildings we opened. It will be the impact this college has had on the people we serve.

Paul Armstrong, 

President, Mohawk College
