The university encourages colleges to create a 3-5 year strategic plan, to frame new initiatives within this context, and to update the plan regularly to reflect recent accomplishments and emerging opportunities.

This page presents the most recent strategic planning documents for Lyman Briggs, including those associated with the 2005-09 expansion and the 2007 transition back to college status. Resources contributing to the community discussionsthat shape these plans are available at the end of the page.
