Planning Updates and Progress

Internal and external stakeholder voices inform planning through input and feedback to the Strategic Planning Committee. The Strategic Planning Committee is committed to transparency and robust stakeholder inclusion. Updates will be provided via the website, email, and The President's and Provost's Corner publications. 

Pillars

Pillars are larger strategic planning themes. The following pillars were selected by the committee:

Pillar 1: Academic

Pillar 2: Student 

Pillar 3: Employee 

Pillar 4: Community 


Pillar Sub-Committees

Each pillar is co-chaired with at least one Strategic Planning Committee Member. The Sub-Committees are tasked with creating Goals and Objectives for each Pillar.

Process

The pillars were workshopped by sub-committees comprised of campus representation from faculty and staff with diverse perspectives. The goals were created first and approved by the Strategic Planning Team. Objectives were then created by each sub-committee for the goals. The objectives were reviewed and approved by Strategic Planning Team.

Currently, the first draft has been created and can be reviewed here: Strategic Plan Draft 4-14-2022

Feedback Opportunities are located here: Feedback
