Conversations  on Strategic Statements (originally posted 9/12/09)

Members of the Campus Community are invited to join a conversation session:

Faculty: Friday, September 18, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.,  Lean Lecture Hall
Students: Wednesday, September 16,  8:00 p.m.,  Babcock Dining Hall
Staff: Thursday, September 17, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m., Lean Lecture Hall

Everyone:
Wednesday, September 16, 2:00-3:00p.m., Lean Lecture Hall
Friday, September 18, 12:00 noon – 1:00 p.m., Lean Lecture Hall
Monday, September 21,  4:00 – 5:00 p.m., Lean Lecture Hall

To frame the conversation, we ask:

  • Is this the Wooster you know? (are these statements accurate and true?)
  • What is missing? (What is important to our essential qualities and character
    that is not conveyed in these statements?)
  • Given these statements will guide our planning and priority setting, what do
    they mean for the work we do individually, in our departments, our
    committees, and our organizations?
  • Now consider the vision statement:  How will we know we have achieved our
    vision?  What indicators should we focus our attention upon?
