The 2021-2026 Strategic Plan for State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (SCF), focuses on "Boldly Leading" the higher education landscape by adapting to evolving student expectations and regional needs. The plan prioritizes enhancing the college's role as a leading institution for higher education, economic development, and cultural enrichment. Key areas of focus include expanding academic programs to meet economic and social demands, improving institutional performance through data-driven decision-making, setting standards for teaching and learning excellence, and enriching community life through workforce training, continuing education, and cultural initiatives. The plan emphasizes financial resilience, expanding opportunities for diverse student populations, and increasing student experiential learning opportunities through community partnerships.

The meeting will include a president's report, a mission moment focusing on a business department overview, and approvals of consent agenda items (both financial and non-financial). A facilities project list will be presented for informational purposes. Old and new business will be discussed, including the president's goals. An SCF Foundation update will be provided, and there will be time for board comments.
