Committee Charge:
The Steering Committee will review prior plans, identify major issues needing to be addressed within the next five years, and develop draft vision, mission, values, and institutional goal statements.  The Committee will then share their proposals at an open forum as a starting point for input from the broader campus and community.  The Committee will review input from the open forum, modify their proposals as appropriate based on that input and forward them as recommendations to the President and the Board of Regents.  The Committee should actively draw upon existing materials, other planning efforts such as the Self-Study Committee and the Campus Master Plan Committee, and any other existing resources to assure a coordinated and streamlined effort.

Following approval of vision, mission, values, and goals statements for the University by the Board of Regents, the Steering Committee will solicit plans from each academic and administrative unit identifying appropriate goals through which implementation will be achieved.  The Unit Plans should be reviewed and approved by the appropriate vice president prior to being forwarded to the committee for review and feedback.  The Steering Committee will then submit the Unit Plans to the President and the Board of Regents for approval and incorporation into the University’s Strategic Plan.

The Steering Committee will continue to meet annually or as necessary to monitor and update the approved Strategic Plan.
