Why did we need a Strategic Plan?
“We exist solely to serve our student members, and we must ensure we are as prepared as possible to meet their changing needs and demands.”
- Enrique Ponce, SSU President (2017-2019)
We set out on the journey of implementing a strategic plan because we work in a dynamic environment that evolves quickly. We exist solely to serve our student members, and we must ensure we are as prepared as possible to meet their changing needs and demands. This strategic plan is designed to be responsive, and to do just that. It will be the winding roadmap that steers us in the direction that best serves our students during their time at Sheridan College.
Strategic planning is an essential tool that helps organizations outline their future direction in a productive and measurable way. In 2018, our Board of Directors and President, Enrique Ponce, realized the importance and potential of such a plan for our future student leaders and undertook efforts to engage in a strategic planning process.
Each year, a new group of passionate and committed students grow into leaders within the SSU. With this in mind, it was important for us to have solid strategic guidance to chart a path for the organization moving forward and provide our student leaders with the tools to best serve the needs of the Sheridan College student body.
Our five-year strategic plan provides guidance and direction, while allowing future leadership teams the flexibility to meet the changing needs of students and evolving nature of the post-secondary environment. This plan will also provide us with a framework for decision-making and success measurement.
