This summit is part of the higher education institution’s effort to be able to best serve St. Maarten in its new constitutional status and is being organized in close cooperation with the St. Maarten Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
"During this Needs Assessment Summit key information was obtained from USM’s valued stakeholders on what is expected of USM and most importantly how the University can foster a sustainable and synergistic partnership with the community," says USM President Annelies van den Assem.
This information will be used for a new strategic business plan.
President van den Assem adds that summit participants will have the unique opportunity to relate their institution’s concern and/or wishes as far tertiary education on St. Maarten.
The first draft of USM’s new strategic business plan is scheduled to be completed by the end of August 2011.
