SHP Strategic Alignment Plan Focus Areas
Our success in all phases of our Strategic Growth Plan during the past two years is the result of exceptional work by faculty, staff, students, alumni and partners. The next two years will present new opportunities and challenges, and we must prepare to meet them with the same forethought and commitment to excellence.
Launched in June 2024, a school-wide Strategic Alignment Committee, along with several work groups based on our pillars and foundations, have been evaluating, refining, revising and updating our goals and strategies as we move forward. Below you will see everyone that is involved in this process.
