Academic Strategic Planning: Making Progress, Encouraging Continued Engagement

Our efforts to reimagine and reshape our academic strategic plan are well underway. We are so grateful to everyone in our community for their collaborative engagement, candid input and enthusiastic participation. The attendance at our “Campus Conversations” has given us great confidence that our next academic strategic plan will contain the broad input of the depth and breadth of our diverse campus community.

As the four cross-cutting groups—Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility; Enrollment Strategy; Global Engagement; and Resource Sustainability and Budgeting—dig into their work, it is critically important that our campus community continue to participate and engage.

Please review the following ways you can still engage and review what’s happened so far in the process: attend an engagement session, take a survey or submit your feedback.

Students: Share Your Perspective

We will host an engagement session exclusively for our student community. The session is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 7, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., and will be held at the Schine Student Center. We are finalizing details at this time, but will send a follow up message directly to students with more information. In the meantime, please hold that time on your calendar if you’re interested in joining us for a robust conversation around the future of academics at Syracuse University.

Mark Your Calendars!

There are three campus conversations this week and one scheduled for next. Please mark your calendars and join us at an upcoming session.

In Case You Missed It…

Earlier this month, Gretchen Ritter, vice chancellor, provost and chief academic officer, and Jamie Winders, associate provost for faculty affairs, appeared on SU News’ “’Cuse Conversations” podcast. The academic leaders discussed revamping the Academic Strategic Plan and what steps the University is taking to advance academic excellence. In “Exploring Syracuse University’s Future Through the Academic Strategic Plan: ‘A Roadmap to the Future We Collectively Create,’” they share how the updated plan will position Syracuse University for short- and long-term success.
