Extension

The 2012-2017 Pathway to Distinction strategic plan was extended through 2020 by a unanimous vote by Faculty Senate on September 16, 2015.

Faculty Senate Motion: The university continues to affirm Pathway to Distinction and the lifespan of the plan should be extended three years, with a life cycle to end on June 30, 2020. The mission statement, values, and goals remain the same and the initiative process and progress measures continue to be managed and monitored by the Strategic Planning Progress Committee as established by previous Faculty Senate motions and approved by the UWRF Chancellor.
