Saint Martin’s University Strategic Planning Survey
Saint Martin’s University is beginning the process of developing our next strategic plan, and your input is critical to shaping our future. Recognizing the shifts across the higher education landscape, the Board of Trustees has called for an updated strategic plan—one that reflects our current challenges, opportunities, and aspirations. This new plan will closely align with our Catholic Benedictine mission and position Saint Martin’s for a strong and sustainable future. We invite you to share your perspectives on where we thrive and where we can grow. This is one of the key opportunities for you to provide input—thank you for your time and thoughtful responses.
