CAS Strategic Planning

CAS Strategic Planning

The CAS Strategic Planning committee is charged to develop a broad, comprehensive, and collaborative strategic planning document that will guide the College of Arts and Science’s planning and decision-making processes. The committee will utilize the information gained from the college’s visioning and strategic planning Charrettes and align our plan within the University’s mission, vision, guiding principles to develop a shared vision for the college.

Chris EndrinalDuring the 2023-2024 academic year the committee will engaged with stakeholders across the college to establish the college’s strategic direction and develop long-range priorities in support of student, academic, and facility needs. This included meetings with departments and a college-wide charrette event in the spring. As a result this comprehensive and shared governance process, the committee produced a coherent and aspirational document that clearly aligns with the University’s mission and financial position and its long-range opportunities and priorities.
