INTRODUCTION
Envision Trinity 2020 establishes the framework for institutional, operational and programmatic strategies to fulfill Trinity’s strategic goals. This plan emanates from Trinity’s mission and vision to sustain Trinity as a global model for the education of students, particularly women and men in urban centers, who seek to become leaders for change in their families, workplaces and communities.This strategic plan continues the threads established in Trinity’s prior strategic plans from Toward Trinity 2000 (1992-1999), Beyond Trinity 2000 (2000-2006), and Achieving Trinity 2010 (2007 – 2013). Continuing the same format as the prior plans, Envision Trinity 2020 establishes new measurable goals and clear benchmarks for achievement of the goals. Each goal includes a statement of baseline measurements in the Year 2013 and establishes annual progress goals and ultimate strategic goal targets for 2020.
BY THE YEAR 2020 TRINITY WILL:
