Phase 1
Planning

The College will present the strategic themes, intent, and purpose of the Strategic Design at the townhall meetings. Our College President, Provost, Vice-President of Finance & Administration, Vice President of Student Affairs, and Vice-President of External Campuses, Centers, and Micro-sites will have a discussion with attendees regarding their recommendations, feedback, and questions. The outreach locations will be hosted on and off the Navajo Nation. Events will be conducted in-person, virtually or hybrid.
