“The VISION Statement is an institution’s clear description of what it intends to become within a certain timeframe” (Karen Hinton, 2012).
It is a statement of the institution’s strategic position from a perspective based on the future. Often Vision Statements declare a rough time table… “within the next decade University X will become…” or “over the next five years University Y will be recognized as a leader in _________ field of study.”
As Karen Hinton puts it, “the mission and vision represent the current and envisioned state of the institution. The strategic plan is used to bridge the gap between the two.”
