Draft Strategic Plan

From Provost Dr. Elizabeth Davis:

"As we listened to so many of you over these past months, it became clear that we needed to create a plan that will be respectful of both the wisdom of our community as well as the depth of our expertise across campus. As a result, the plan we have drafted casts vision, but it's not prescriptive. Our plan is dynamic. It will be a living organism that is now taking shape and will continue to take shape for years to come."

Make plans to read the Draft Strategic Plan today and help us by responding to it.
