Strategic Planning

“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up someplace else.” — Yogi Berra

Inver Hills Community College understands the importance of planning for the future to secure relevant and rewarding learning experiences and outcomes for our students. Our college engages in multiple planning processes as a forward-thinking institution of higher education.
