View the Plan
Strategic plans are often called roadmaps – a set guide for an organization’s future that follows a predetermined route. But Massasoit Community College’s 2024-2029 Strategic Plan is more like the GPS in your phone. It provides us clear directions to our destination, but should we decide to make a detour or encounter an obstacle on our path, it will recalculate to keep us on track. The flexibility of our plan will help us as we grow and change as an institution to better meet the needs of our students and communities in which they live and work.
Throughout our journey to strengthen our role as a regional leader in accessible education, we will keep tabs on this GPS as we continue our work to provide a collaborative, respectful, student-centered environment that celebrates the racial and cultural diversity of our region. We will strive to develop equitable opportunities and pathways to enhance individual and regional economic and social mobility.
Historic investments in community colleges through the Commonwealth’s free community college programs – MassReconnect and MassEducate – are bringing more students to our campuses. People are excited by what a Massasoit education has to offer. Our students will soon be able to take advantage of new state-of-the-art classrooms and labs thanks to our ongoing Transformation Through Renovation Project that will enhance our Science and Health Science buildings in Brockton.
The renovation project will be complete at about the same time as our next NECHE self-study, which will allow the campus to assess our progress at that point and refocus as needed to ensure the priorities we set for 2029 will be informed by our deep commitment to the state, the region, and our community. Lastly, Massasoit will celebrate it’s 60th anniversary in 2026 – a moment to celebrate our legacy and look forward to our future.
These are exciting times for our College and community, and as a former Massasoit student myself, I am looking forward to what lies ahead. Through this strategic plan, we will be able to chart a course that addresses the needs of our community while remaining flexible to respond to the challenges we may face moving forward.
