The Planning Committee, chaired by the President, oversees the current strategic planning process. The committee’s name and responsibilities change depending on whether the committee is in the process of developing a strategic plan (the Strategic Planning Committee), or monitoring the plan’s implementation (the College Planning Committee).
The College Planning Committee’s membership includes students, staff, faculty (as outlined in faculty legislation), and administrators. The committee expands to include trustees and alums as the Strategic Planning Committee.
The College is currently developing a new strategic plan after the successful conclusion of The Plan for Mount Holyoke 2023.
