Strategic Planning
Strategic Plan 2020-2025
The 2020-2025 Strategic Plan builds upon the previous five-year plan and establishes quantitative measures for success. In reviewing the 2015-2020 plan, significant progress was made in retention and graduation rates, stronger academic programming and faculty investment, and engagement of students both inside and outside the classroom. The new plan builds upon that foundation by incorporating lessons learned during the rapid pivot to all-remote learning in the spring of 2020, and reaffirms our commitment to equity, so that all areas of our community can embrace it as their own responsibility.

The Strategic Planning Review Committee (SPRC)
The Strategic Planning Review Committee (SPRC) is chaired by Dr. Strout and is comprised of faculty and staff from across all divisions and levels of the University.
The Strategic Plan Review Committee collects and analyzes data and information to support the strategic plan and ensure alignment and integration of the plan across the institution. The Committee is a special committee, chaired by the Assistant Vice President for Assessment and Planning (ex-officio member, non-voting). Committee membership includes a least one member from each of the three unions (MSC representation will reflect both schools), and one member from each division.
