According to the Council on Education for Public Health, goal statements are extensions of a school’s mission statement. They are declarations of what we want to accomplish. We have set measurable objectives for each goal to help us determine if the goal has been met. They are the ways that we operationalize our mission statement.
The following goals and objectives in the areas of education, policy and practice, research, and organization have been developed with input from faculty, staff, students and various stakeholder groups. Together, we have reassessed and refined them and will continue to do so as we strive to achieve our mission.
