University Strategy Map and Planning Process
During the month of October, 2006, the planning committee split into five sub-committees to develop strategy maps based on the University’s five strategic themes. Once the theme maps were completed, the SPC spent November 2006 merging the theme maps into a single map for the University. The University strategy map shown below contains the strategic objectives that needed to be addressed in order to fulfill our mission and achieve our strategic priorities.
