Aligning College/Major Unit/Departmental Planning

Realizing the vision of K-State 2025 requires an institutional commitment to planning and holding ourselves accountable at all levels. In September 2011, President Schulz announced an ambitious planning initiative to align College/Major Units and Departmental planning with the K-State 2025 visionary plan as well as to further define University metrics for reporting our progress.

Colleges and Major Units submitted completed Strategic Action and Alignment Plans in December 2012.  Departmental planning is currently underway. Our goal is to have College/Major Unit plans with associated Departmental plans completed by Summer 2013. 

Please see the Strategic Action Planning and Alignment Response Chart for the current planning timeline and details for additional units. View the guidance, instructions, and resources to assist in the facilitation of this next level of K-State 2025 planning.
