College Forward 2030 Strategic Planning
Leadership Advisory Oversight Group

The Leadership Advisory Oversight Group for the College Forward and Strategic Plan 2030 initiative is charged with guiding the work of each of the four Task Forces:

They will ensure synergy across initiatives and that each Task Force has the data and information necessary to build and set forth the next roadmap for the institution’s success — tactically over the three- to six-month period beginning in January 2025 and strategically over the next five years.

The Leadership Advisory Oversight Group will ensure that the College of Medicine community is widely represented in this process.
