Strategic Plan & Goals

Strategic Plan FY25-35

NDSCS employed a developmental and inclusive process to review and update the mission and vision statements and to establish a strategic plan for FY25-35. The NDSCS Strategic Planning Team led the process; during the six-phase development process, there were a variety of avenues for students, employees, and other stakeholders to share feedback and insight on the formation of the mission, vision, values, and strategic plan.
