2003 Action Plan - Executive Summary
Executive Summary | Context
| Priorities | Appendix
The Action Plan 2003 derives from the 2000 Strategic Plan and
should be understood as its annual iteration. We give the 2002
progress report under six major groupings:
Next, we give a section that identifies the Priorities for 2003.
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;
- Interdisciplinary programs 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.
