Description

In March 2022, the President tasked the Provost with leading a diverse taskforce, coordinated by three co-leaders, that grew to include 21 members from across the campus community. The taskforce created a timeline and process that engaged internal and external stakeholders, each of whom contributed personal and professional insight into how EIU might define, measure, and support high-impact success initiatives in its classrooms, on its campus, and across the region.

Targeted surveys (one external survey and two internal surveys), group meetings, and four public town halls (two in Fall 2022 and two in Spring 2023) helped to sharpen and prioritize the draft plan's initiatives. Concurrently, the members of the taskforce created sub-groups - designated "Implementation Teams" - to identify themes and responsible units. To increase visibility and enhance transparency, the taskforce created and maintains a website at eiu.edu/strategicplan.
