The formulation of an institute’s vision and mission is a collaborative process that actively involves students, parents, faculty, and other stakeholders to ensure the statements reflect shared values and collective aspirations. This process begins by identifying all relevant groups who have a vested interest in the institution’s direction and success, such as students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members. Through consultations, surveys, focus groups, and representative committees, each group is given an opportunity to express their perspectives, expectations, and priorities. Feedback gathered from these interactions is integrated into drafting the vision and mission statements, ensuring the language is clear, operational, and inclusive of diverse viewpoints. This participatory approach builds consensus and buy-in, enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of the institute’s strategic direction, as stakeholders feel a sense of ownership and alignment with the institution’s goals. The final statements are reviewed and refined through iterative feedback before being formally adopted, serving as authentic guiding principles for the entire academic community.
