In Fall 2022 campus stakeholders - including faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members - collaborated in development of an Academic Bridge Strategic Plan. Adopted in January 2023, this plan is intended to support academic areas during the presidential transition, and the development of the next campus wide strategic plan.
