Steering Committee and Task Forces
The planning process relied on the work of a steering committee and five task forces with their associated working groups. Each of the five task forces and their associated working groups were responsible for a specific area. The five areas are:
- Student Success and Academic Excellence
- Research and Creative Endeavors
- Community Engagement
- Diversity
- Internationalization
The steering committee was responsible for the overall planning process, including the preparation of the final version of the plan. The steering committee was also responsible for integrating the recommendations of the task forces, creating an integrated financial plan to address the university’s financial challenges, prioritizing recommended initiatives and considering ways to fund prioritized initiatives.
