Each work group was formed to create a diverse, interdisciplinary collaboration of faculty, staff, students, and others to work on one of the strategic planning themes. These groups were responsible for providing a high-level summary of our University’s expertise as it related to each theme, and identifying opportunities and key challenges that we might face over the next five to 10 years. They also recommended initiatives by which we can provide innovative solutions to meet these challenges.
