The
long road to an updated strategic plan for California State University will
be filled with discussions and serious debate throughout the system. Sacramento
State is joining the conversation from 1 – 4 p.m. on Tuesday, March 20
in the University Union Ballroom. The campus community is invited to attend
the “Access to Excellence” discussion.
This campus conversation
is part of a CSU effort to update “Cornerstones,” a systemwide strategic
document adopted a decade ago.
The meetings, being
held at each of the 23 California State University campuses, will establish
specific program objectives, set priorities and guide resource allocations of
the next several years. They will be led by the University’s Faculty Senate
Executive Committee and the Office of Academic Affairs, with members of the
Board of Trustees and the Chancellor’s Office in attendance. General themes
of the planning process will be access/outreach and excellence.
Campus participation
is key to the success of the California State University’s Access to Excellence
strategic planning. All faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as the
campus community, are encouraged to attend the meeting.
The discussion
will begin with a general introduction of Access to Excellence, followed by
breakout discussions of the draft plan themes and a reporting out of discussion
points to the entire group. Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of
the meeting.
The resulting strategic
plan will be presented for consideration by the CSU Board of Trustees prior
to the end of the 2007-08 academic year. The Access to Excellence meetings were
called for by a September 2006 resolution of the California State University
Board of Trustees.
