I would start by looking at where the college currently stands; its enrollment numbers, program performance, graduation rates, job placement outcomes, and financial health. Understanding strengths, weaknesses, and community needs in Ridgeland and the surrounding area would help set realistic priorities. Then I would define clear goals for the next five years, such as increasing enrollment, expanding high-demand programs, improving student retention, strengthening employer partnerships, and enhancing student support services. After setting goals, I would outline specific action steps, timelines, and responsible teams for each objective.
