 goals and strategies that support each Guiding Principle.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This plan was created to move Texas A&amp;M University - Commerce into its next 125 years.&nbsp; We request your feedback to help us make this the strongest and most representative plan possible.
