A Focus on Plan Alignment

With the launch of a new university strategic plan in September 2023, our Next-Gen K-State strategic planning focus is expanding to include college and major unit planning. Each of these plans should work for and be distinctive for each college or major unit while also clearly aligning with and supporting the vision and aspirations in the university's strategic plan – in particular, K-State’s ten strategic imperatives for 2030. Related university plans were also reviewed and aligned with the university plan and priorities during 2024.
