Marty's Message: Strategic Planning

As you are aware, UW-Stevens Point is in the throes of developing a new strategic plan. The IPAC committee, led by consultant Connie Foster, has been charged with driving the strategic planning process.

CPS is represented on this committee by Jasia Steinmetz, Tiff Akins and myself. Feel free to contact any one of us if you have comments or questions. You can also follow progress at the strategic planning website.

I encourage each of you to take the online survey, and attend at least one of the visioning sessions next week. It is critically important to hear from our alumni, partners, advisory board and community members who can take the survey

Remember, this is our plan and it needs our input.

Marty Loy, Dean
