Ramapo College Strategic Plan 2023-2029 (PDF)
The College will host four planning forums in Spring 2023 for faculty, staff, students, and administrators. Each forum will include small group work activities designed to help teams become familiar with our new Strategic Plan: Boldly Ascending and brainstorm how their teams can collaborate across cores to tangibly advance the goals in the plan. In addition, participants will work together to visualize, draft and finalize their unit effectiveness plans in accordance with the strategic direction outlined in Boldly Ascending.
SAVE THE DATES
The Strategic Plan Writing Team was charged in September 2022 with drafting the College’s next Strategic Plan. The Strategic Posture Statement served as foundational to the Team’s efforts.
Ramapo College’s strategic planning process included three key elements:
These three elements all shaped the development of Ramapo College’s next Strategic Plan by:
The Future Series was a series of dynamic summits that set the conditions for our disciplined work together. Each summit featured broad participation by our students, faculty, and staff. In addition, they included pre-readings and resources, a keynote address, facilitated activities, and opportunities for reflection that were designed to help us arrive at understandings and to generate ideas that position our liberal arts mission and our public good as a state college as both guide and ballast throughout this process.

Faculty, staff, students, and friends attended these sessions in person and virtually to provide input on a draft strategic posture statement. The posture statement served as the foundation from which the Strategic Plan Writing Team developed the draft Plan.
Shaped, in part, by what we learned from The Future Series, running parallel was the Needs Statement Process. The Needs Statement Process served to ignite the passion across our community with the opportunity to develop and advocate for centers, programs, initiatives and projects that attract external resources, lead toward a better understanding of issues that affect the lives of citizens in the 21st Century, and that widen and deepen the reputation of our College.
More Information: Needs Statements
With passions ignited, the Needs Statement Process helped us identify priority needs and eventually secure resources from gifts and other potential sources. An all hands on deck opportunity to collaborate across disciplines and departments, needs statement submissions were due in February 2022.
The College’s current Facilities Master Plan was completed in 2013 and, in the past several years, much has been achieved through it—the construction, completion and opening of the Peter P. Mercer Learning Commons, for example! In 2022, we launched a Campus Master Planning process that is also being shaped by what we learned about the future – our context, by what emerged through the needs statement process – our passion, and in turn, by what we envision together for our campus environment.
