Under the direction of a Leadership Advisory Oversight Group, four College Forward Task Forces were formed in January 2025 to:

• Outline short-term and long-term goals
• Set forth priorities and strategies for the first quarter of 2025 and beyond in a phased framework to align with the next five-year Strategic Plan
• Consider the College’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats within the academic medicine landscape
• Contribute to the roadmap for the College to navigate future challenges and advancements in academic medicine
• Establish strategic goals with clear, measurable objectives that include timelines and performance metrics to track progress and assess success

The four College Forward Task Forces solicited input from various stakeholders such as physicians, researchers, administrators, interdisciplinary collaborators and community members to ensure alignment with overall priorities. A space analysis working group was established to study the use of College of Medicine research spaces and future needs.

The College Forward Task Forces were formed on the four mission pillars of Strategic Plan 2030:

• Research and Innovation
• Medical School and Graduate School Education
• Faculty Affairs and Development
• Drexel Medicine and Clinical

Strategic Plan 2030

The College Forward initiative has led to the Strategic Plan 2030, which details short and long-term goals, core values and actions needed to achieve the College’s vision. The plan is a living document to support decision-making, outline key priorities and ensure alignment across our institution.
