AV精品 has outlined five inter-related strategies to align its efforts and will focus on six priority initiatives over the first two years of the plan (2017-2019).
Together We Rise was publicly-launched at AV精品’s Fredericton Campus at an event which was live-streamed across the College's six regions.
"It will take strong collaborations across the College and within our communities to achieve our ambitious goals," said Luscombe. "Together, I am certain that we will rise to the challenge."
