Academic Planning

Academic planning will yield a comprehensive academic plan that will define the kind of institution we want to be in regard to our academic programs; teaching excellence and innovation; academic advising; academic engagement programs and opportunities; and research, scholarly and creative activity. It is our opportunity to prepare for and shape our future.
