Strategic Planning Resources

The topics that will serve as the foundation the strategic plan are grouped into three categories, Education, Academics and Economics. Each of these categories contains sub-topics with supported reading materials. We encourage you to explore and read these topic resources to better understand the state of each topic before joining the conversation. To join the conversation, you are not required to provide feedback on all topics, but rather any number of them.
