Environmental Scanning

A number of key questions informed and guided our strategic planning efforts in 2009-2010:

Where should we be as a university in 2025? What do we hope to accomplish and what are the accompanying strategies?

How do we optimize our physical, fiscal and human resources?

How do we balance student access and the associated financial aid in an era of dwindling resources?

How do we support and enhance a culture of connectedness for our students, faculty and staff?

What strategies might we use to build faculty strength and attract students?

What internal/external collaborations can we embark upon to produce mutual gains?

How do we support and enhance the value of multiculturalism and diversity?

How do we support our research agenda?

What are the implications for new information technologies?

How do we anticipate changes in the delivery of instruction?
