Executive Summary | Context
| Priorities | Appendix
The Action Plan 2002 derives from the 2000 Strategic Plan and
should be understood as its annual iteration. We give the 2001
Progress Report under six major groupings:
Next, we give a section that identifies the Priorities for 2002.
Advancement in these areas is meant to assist the University in
achieving the broad overarching vision of becoming one of the
nation's premiere research universities located in an urban setting.
In order to accomplish the University's visions, goals and priorities,
we need to link disciplinary interests to the (unranked) interconnected
aims of:
- Liberal arts education in all undergraduate programs;
- Provision of a learning-centered environment;
Scholarly activity for all faculty;
- Advanced research programs;
- Accomplished professional programs;
- Intercultural and international perspectives;
Connections across disciplines and content areas;
- Connections among graduate, professional, and undergraduate
studies;
- Opportunities for collaborative research and scholarly interaction
among faculty and between faculty and students;
- Exploration and use of new learning methods and technologies,
when appropriate;
- Assessment of courses, programs and services for the purpose
of their improvement;
Information literacy and lifelong learning;
- Collaboration across institutions and between the campus
and the community;
- Use of our location in an urban area, a center of international
commerce and a center of governance,to offer a distinctive education
to our students;
- Participation in partnerships that have a positive impact
on community.
Achievement of these interconnected aims will contribute significantly
to student learning and an engaged university. A dynamic balance
is sought among teaching and learning, research and scholarship,
university and community service, and undergraduate and graduate
and professional programs.
