Strategic Plan

College Unbound regards short- and long-term planning as key to achieving its mission and goals. Long-term planning is articulated in the College Unbound Strategic Plan, which was revised in August 2017 and approved by the board of trustees on September 19, 2017. A 2015 feasibility study also can be viewed below.
