Progress Update # 2 (2010-11 year end)
Our end of the year (2010-11) update:
We have made good progress on many of our priorities for 2010-11, thanks to the work of students, faculty, and staff across the campus. Some of our priorities have proved a bit more challenging than we anticipated; for others, our work has provided additional insight into how we can most effectively achieve our objectives, resulting in slight changes in our work plans. The insights we take from this update will serve to inform our priorities in each area of the College for 2011-12 and our institutional strategic priorities for 2011-12.
Read the update.

Introducing “On Purpose: Our Strategic Framework”
A post from John Sell, faculty strategic planning liaison & Ellen Falduto, chief information and planning officer
Our summer planning assignment was to take our entire planning work product of the last year and compile our strategic plan framework. We are now introducing the Framework to you. While it may not reflect the traditional structure of a strategic planning document as Wooster has known in the past, its content should be very familiar to all of us.
On Purpose: Our Strategic Framework is the first edition of our agile, living-plan document. Continue reading

Strategic Planning Update: April 12, 2010
When we began our strategic planning process this time last year, you told us what you thought the strengths are that we should build the College’s future upon, what the problems were that we needed to address, where opportunities existed – both externally and internally – that we could use to our advantage, and where, again both externally and internally, we needed to be wary of threats that would impede our progress.

Strategic Statements Approved by the Board of Trustees
At its October 10, 2009 meeting, The College of Wooster Board of Trustees passed a resolution approving our Strategic Statements in principle, with the understanding that they are likely to undergo further refinement and revision as the planning process moves forward to the next stage: defining the multi-year strategic initiatives to achieve our vision and the resources required to implement them. The Board also provided insightful comments on the statements; the statements, posted on this site, reflects those comments.

Welcome to “On Purpose: Strategic Planning @ Wooster”
This year we will craft a vision of our future and develop a multi-year plan for how to achieve our most important goals. Our purpose is to not only craft our strategic plan, but more so, to further develop an institutional culture of planning that encourages our strategic thinking and influences all of our decision making, resource allocation, and research and assessment efforts.
This is exciting and significant work for very good purpose. We hope you share our enthusiasm and we welcome your participation in our planning effort. All students, faculty, staff, trustees, and alumni will have an opportunity to participate in the planning process through existing governance and consultative groups and through “all call” opportunities. This blog supports our effort as a place to share with the College community and provide a repository for all of our “documents” relating to contingency and strategic planning and provide one venue for conversation.
