Strategic Plan Steering Committee

President Nelson with Janet Loren Hill

The Steering Committee of the Strategic Plan guided the MassArt community in creating a visionary strategic plan consistent with our mission. This committee worked diligently to ensure that the plan is achievable and fundable, as well as inspirational.
