CPBAC Discussion Forum
Since the campus has approved the new Mission, Vision, and Values statement, it is time to turn our attention to strategic planning. Dean Schaffer would like to have campus-wide input on the strategic plan. To aid this process, a CPBAC discussion board has been created. The discussion board will allow for an ongoing discussion as well as a record of the conversation. The URL for the board is: http://cpbac.msugf.net
On the discussion board, there are two questions Dean Schaffer would like you to answer. You can either register, which means your user name will be displayed with your comments, or you can comment anonymously.
Questions:
1. What are the major initiatives or priorities the College should focus its efforts and resources on in the coming years?
2. Why (back your statements through data or other justification)?
When answering the questions keep a couple of things in mind: the new vision, mission, and value statements and the direction the campus is moving.
Dean Schaffer is looking forward to your answers/comments on the questions, and the discussion they provoke. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Heather Palermo or Ken Wardinsky. |
