We are excited to share with you the draft of the Salisbury University Strategic Plan 2009-2013. The Strategic Planning process was created to bring together existing campus planning efforts and allow members of our community to participate in creating a plan for the future of Salisbury University. In January 2008, the campus and the larger community were invited to participate in workshops across campus to help us identify those qualities that help to make SU A Maryland University of National Distinction. The results of those workshops helped to shape this plan, as did other ongoing planning efforts focused on enrollment and facilities as well as the data and survey information collected through those processes. The resulting plan will help shape the University’s efforts over the coming five years, while being flexible enough to adjust to unanticipated challenges and opportunities. Overall, the plan does not call for a major shift to the focus or mission of SU, but it confirms that the University is in a very positive position. We encourage all members of the community to review the draft, share your comments and plan to take an active role in implementation in the coming years.

What’s Next?

• The review period will continue until December 1, 2008. All members of the campus and the larger community are encouraged to review the draft and send comments. At the same time, the Strategic Planning and Budgeting Committee, the members of which represent all of the governance bodies and a number of committees on campus, will share the draft and gather input from the groups that they represent.
• The SPBC, working with the President and Executive Staff, will review all input and make decisions about appropriate changes or additions to the draft plan. Those changes will be incorporated during the month of December.
• A final plan will be available by the end of the year.
• Beginning in January 2009, those responsible for leadership in each recommendation area will pull together the appropriate stakeholders and develop an implementation plan and timeline.
