To Follow the Planning Process

Each year of Achieving Our Destiny implementation will involve identifying themes and priorities to guide our efforts. Themes for the following year will be announced to the campus each Spring. Documents, reports, and task force and working group reports associated with strategic planning themes and priorities can be found by clicking on Implementation Resources at the upper right side of this page. The materials on the Implementation Resources and Implementation Archives page will be updated as necessary.
