The athletics department at Mohawk College in Hamilton unveiled its four-year strategic plan on Wednesday, an essential complete revamping of its existing programs and facilities.
Not only will the overall look change through improved facilities, but the department is also planning to expand and provide new recreational and fitness programming, increase alumni engagement, strengthen relationships with other departments around the college, create a game day experience that “packs the bleachers,” and creating new revenue streams.
“Mohawk is thrilled to release our new Athletics Strategic Plan,” said Katie Burrows, VP of Students, International and Alumni. “This plan will help us grow our national exposure through athletics, provide great programming to all Mohawk students, and continue to build on the momentum of our varsity sports.”
This plan outlines the department’s future direction with the goal of being recognized nationally.
