Many Voices. One Plan. A Roadmap for 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网’s Future

After collectively creating a new mission and vision that articulates the College’s foundational values, beliefs, and aspirations, the 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 community is now shaping its next strategic plan – a five-year action roadmap culminating in 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网’s bicentennial in 2026.

The strategic planning process calls out a transformative educational approach embraced by 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 – Integrative Education.  We envision it as a proudly art and design-centered education that intersects with multiple fields and spheres, empowering 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 graduates to succeed and contribute in a diverse and changing world. 

The goal of the Strategic Plan is to be a National and International Model of Integrative Education in Art and Design.


The strategic planning framework is built upon four themes, listed below. These themes will drive our strategic priorities for 2026.
