St. Cloud State University Strategic Plan
Outcomes and Performance Evidence and Measures
Driving our Strategic Action Plan are three outcomes that we must achieve if we are to successfully deliver on our mission, vision and Our Husky Compact. These outcomes represent our long-term planning horizon and provide key measures by which we will hold ourselves accountable for success. They represent the commitment we are making to our students, stakeholders and the State of Minnesota.
All efforts within St. Cloud State University should align with our outcomes, and we must be able to demonstrate how implementation and resource expenditures further our achievement of them.
