A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Strategic Planning
The three vice presidents , who chaired the Strategic Planning team , invited faculty and staff from various disciplines and departments to review data and feedback from the environmental scan surveys and to participate in a SWOT analysis to help inform the new strategic plan .
