Strategic Plan Updates

October 4, 2024

Dr. Ashlee Roberts will be serving as the Steering Committee Co-Chair, contributing her valuable insights and leadership to guide our planning process.

The Strategic Planning Steering Committee (SPSC) is leading this effort to align 淫性视频鈥檚 academic, administrative, and operational units and secure our future as a premier regional university. Our charge includes initiating and overseeing a process that aligns with our mission, vision, and values, while working closely with the President to ensure the plan reflects our institutional aspirations and future needs.

A key part of this process is inclusivity. We will engage with stakeholders across campus to gather diverse perspectives that will shape our university鈥檚 priorities and strategic direction. Additionally, we are committed to ongoing communication, sharing progress, and celebrating milestones as we work toward our final plan in September 2025.
