Missouri Western State University’s Strategic Plan Steering Committee is seeking public input for its strategic plan for 2017 to 2022.
The committee is asking faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members to help identify Missouri Western’s key strengths, challenges and future initiatives. University stakeholders are asked to provide their feedback online at missouriwestern.edu/strategicplan/ by Sept. 30.
Missouri Western formally initiated a five-year strategic planning process in 2002. The 12-member Strategic Planning Committee includes staff, faculty and student representatives led by Dr. Doug Davenport, associate provost for research, planning and institutional effectiveness.
The strategic plan is intended to guide major Missouri Western decisions for the next five years. The committee has conducted a comprehensive environmental analysis and created university and student profiles that are available for review on the strategic plan website. Also available are previous strategic plans.
