President Hensrud hosted a pair of campus-wide Strategic Plan Town Hall meetings April 6 in the Beaux Arts Ballroom, where she solicited feedback from faculty, staff and students about Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ’s direction, challenges and opportunities. Participants worked in small groups to provide input on answers to five critical questions that will help guide the strategic planning process:
- What are our areas of greatest strength and promise?
- What currently makes this university truly distinctive in relation to peers and competitors?
- What are the major forces, trends or issues — in higher education, in our state, our system, and our region — that will affect the future of this university?
- What are our greatest opportunities to enhance quality — to carve out a place for ourselves that will lead to distinction and serve our constituents?
- What is holding us back?
The groups shared their work with the larger group; those presentations were recorded and have been archived on the Office of the President’s Strategic Planning website.
