Building upon the College’s mission and strategic goals—such as raising the academic profile, distinction and student success—this Civic Action Plan (CAP) envisions a long-term future where Saint Mary’s College (SMC) has built sustainable, meaningful relationships with several communities in support of justice, inclusion and sustainability. By 2023, SMC will be known nationally as an engaged campus characterized by integrated academic programming in support of community engagement and community-based research. In addition, collaboration between SMC and its four anchor partners (in Alameda, Concord, Moraga, and Oakland) will support sustainable civic action and stronger, healthier communities.
