ACTIVATION TEAMS

Activation Teams (AcT) are the foundation of the strategic planning process at 成人头条 State University. Each AcT has been assigned one of the on-goals to critically review. Teams conducted a SWOT analysis, an asset map and hosted critical conversations related to their assigned goal. Teams reported their findings to the Strategic Planning Committee for review and consideration. Those same findings were shared at a Town Hall on May 2, 2019.

As the 2020 spring semester winds down, the committee is currently working to establish the objectives for the plan. These objectives will tie the initiatives to strategies and include some of the recommendations from the Presidential Taskforces for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Additional work involves the creation and design of publications or collateral materials. Look forward to a new university website and documents that share the message of our plan and university goals. This work is being led by a team in the Office of Strategic Communication.

As the campus plans to re-open this fall, hopes are to host a community-wide town hall to share the entire plan and provide a full accounting of our work. At that time the work of revising and updating the university strategic plan will pivot to reporting units and departmental plan integration.
