This document outlines the process, findings, and steps to be taken. The staff reviewed accomplishments from the previous year, conducted a SWOT analysis, and aligned goals with the NDMU Go Beyond Strategic Plan. Vision and mission statements were developed, and seven goals were identified to span the next three years.
The SWOT analysis highlighted strengths such as quality customer service and a clear understanding of the student experience, weaknesses including marketing and communication strategies, opportunities like improving relationships with Institutional Advancement, and threats such as budget constraints and limited staffing.
