澳门金沙线上赌博官网 is steadily making inroads on the strategic planning process. Thus far, the process has rendered valuable data that will inform our next steps.
“This strategic plan will set the course for 澳门金沙线上赌博官网's future, and critical to its success is the involvement of our community,” 凡妮莎B. 比斯利,Ph值.D., 圣澳门金沙赌城线上游戏 president. “I appreciate the effort that has already gone into understanding and acting on the feedback we have received. I look forward to seeing where the next conversations take us.”
With the University currently in Phase 3 of the planning process, “Facilitated Visioning,” collected data came from focus groups conducted in November 2023 and results from the community survey distributed to faculty, 工作人员, 学生, and alumni in January 2024. The community survey received 1,492 responses, with a total response rate of 18.4%. Of those 1,492 respondents:
- 78% of non-student respondents have been a stakeholder of 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 for 7 or more years.
- 校友 had the largest number of respondents at 685.
- 教师 and 工作人员 had the highest percentage of respondents at 41%.
结合, the data collection methods provided rich data that revealed general consistency in how stakeholders perceive 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 and its future direction. The data collected so far demonstrate the following primary findings, among several others:
- 澳门金沙线上赌博官网’s strength lies in the personalized and student-centered experience it provides and the quality of its faculty, but its brand identity lacks clarity for stakeholders.
- Creating opportunities to gain knowledge, 技能, and experiences was identified as extremely important by over half of respondents.
- Stakeholders agree the top factors for prospective college 学生 are affordability, academic programs offered, 全国排名. Approximately half of respondents agree 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 is somewhat better or much better than its competitors in academic programs 全国排名.
From these early findings, four key concepts emerged: Destination of Choice, 独特的项目, Student-focused Education, and Supportive Physical Environment. Four working groups have been selected to continue developing and analyzing these key concepts. The groups will work in tandem in March and April to conduct research, define problems or challenges, 评估选择, and ideate on a future state for 澳门金沙线上赌博官网. Working groups are not implementation groups; rather, they are groups to help 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 recognize opportunities, 日光的约束, and conduct 愿景ing for our future.
The groups will be working diligently during full-day, in-person 愿景ing sessions on Thursday, 3月21日, 和周五, 3月22日. The working groups are chaired by:
- 特丽丝·蒂勒, director of alumni career engagement & networks: Destination of Choice
- Jamie Thompson ’05, Ed.D.: 独特的项目
- 丹尼斯·乌格里尼博士.D., professor of physics: Student-focused Education
- 安德鲁·威尔斯博士.D., vice president for Student Affairs: Supportive Physical Environment
Upon conclusion of the working group sessions, 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 will enter the process of defining the University’s strategic direction. This includes developing high-level priorities for our mission, 愿景, 目标, 以及行动步骤, as well as assessment of possible strategic alternatives.
