In 2024, Skagit Valley College adopted a new four-year Strategic Plan. This process was the result of input from and consultation with students, staff, faculty, administrators, board members, and the communities we serve. The Strategic Plan is SVC’s guide to achieving its institutional mission. While the Strategic Plan is developed at the institutional level, operationalization and implementation primarily occur within various units throughout the college, leading to a process that is broad-based and open to input from appropriate constituencies
