In fall 2024, Highlands President Neil Woolf charged the University-Wide Strategic Planning Committee to develop the 2030 NMHU Strategic Plan. The committee’s charge is to review the 2025 strategic plan and to create the new strategic plan for the next five-year cycle. The committee is composed of members of representative bodies of the various cross-sections of the university such as students, staff, faculty, administration, and community members.

During the fall of 2024, the committee identified five areas of strategic goals: academic excellence, holistic student success, community engagement, strategic student enrollment, and improving organization processes. In January and February 2025, the committee drafted objectives for each of these goals. Advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion principles are intentionally infused throughout the objectives for these goals. The next step in the process is gather feedback from the campus community and community stakeholders on these draft objectives.

The University Strategic Planning Committee would like to thank you for providing input on the draft objectives for the university’s new strategic plan, Vision 2030, by completing the following survey.
