The Strategic Visioning Committee, chaired by Provost Charles Isbell and Professor and former University Committee Chair Lauren Papp, consists of dedicated faculty, staff, and students from schools, colleges, and divisions across the university. This diverse group is tasked with creating initial concepts and developing recommendations for the university’s next strategic framework.
The committee’s critical role in developing the next campus strategic framework involves helping to gather extensive input from the campus community to ensure the strategic framework is comprehensive and reflective of the collective aspirations and needs of the university.
