Leadership
Strategic Planning Committee
In addition to overseeing the planning process, the Strategic Planning Committee reviewed reports from the task forces and prepared a draft strategic plan in January 2011 for review and comment by the campus community during the spring semester. The task force chairs, Strategic Planning Committee Steering Committee, an alumni representative and a member of the Board of Trustees comprise the full Strategic Planning Committee.
