Lambton College Goes “All In” with New Strategic Plan
SARNIA, March 31, 2025 – Every achievement at Lambton College has a ripple effect – creating opportunities and changing lives.
That’s the concept that drove the development of All In: the Lambton College Strategic Plan 2025 to 2029.
The new plan is the culmination of 16 months of engagement and consultation with hundreds of key stakeholders, each contributing their own ideas and voices towards a shared vision for the future of the College.
During a recent event to officially launch the Strategic Plan, Lambton College President & CEO Rob Kardas called it a “North Star,” a guiding document to support key priorities and decisions. He also described it as a celebration of community partnerships and collaboration, and reinforced the impact of community support on student success.
“Many of you generously gave your time in helping to shape this plan through surveys and consultation, and we know all of you will be instrumental in helping us bring this plan to life,” he said. “To work at Lambton College is to be entrusted with the future – both the individual future of our learners, and our collective future in this community.”
At the heart of the new plan is a formal definition of The Lambton Way, a shared responsibility in leading with kindness and compassion, exceeding the expected, and shaping a healthy, inclusive, and prosperous future for students, clients and the various communities that the College serves.
The plan reaffirms Lambton’s commitment to three Focus Areas carried over from the previous plan: Our Students, Our People, and Our Local & Global Communities, and is structured around seven goals:
- Enable Student Success and Wellbeing
- Deliver Renowned Market Connected Programs, Credentials and Research
- Be the Best at Being Better
- A Collaborative and Supportive Workplace
- Be a First Choice College for Students and Clients
- Elevate Lambton College's Research Impact and Reputation
- Advance Truth and Reconciliation Through Relevant Indigenous Protocols
Kardas said the Strategic Plan is rooted in updated Values that will allow Lambton to lead with care and kindness, set new standards of excellence, and inspire a thriving, inclusive future. It also sets a bold tone for a more innovative, ambitious, and transformative path forward.
“This plan is a celebration of the collective strength of our people, and the unwavering belief that together we can effect real change,” he said.
