Strategic planning process moves to implementation phase

The 2009-2014 Strategic Plan for the College of Technology was recently approved by the Office of the Provost.

With that approval, Melissa Dark, associate dean for research and strategic planning, is working toward the next step in the process: implementation.

“We want this to be a participatory process. Accomplishing our goals is contingent upon good participation from faculty and staff,” Dark says.

Seven implementation teams will be formed to help guide the progress of the plan. The teams include:

Launching Tomorrow’s Leaders – Recruitment
Launching Tomorrow’s Leaders – Undergraduate Curriculum
Launching Tomorrow’s Leaders – Undergraduate Research
Launching Tomorrow’s Leaders – Graduate Education
Discovery With Delivery – Research Areas and Funding
Discovery With Delivery – Technology Transfer, Commercialization and Entrepreneurship
Meeting Global Challenges – Partnerships

Nominations and self-nominations for team members will continue through September 7 so that implementation teams can be finalized by September 12. Send nominations to Melissa Dark.
