Dean Kate VandenBosch released early drafts of a planning template and guidance document that departments will use to outline priorities and activities for the next five years. Five-year plans were recommended in the Organizational Redesign Committee’s report from December 2017. The planning templates will continue to be refined over the summer. Each department, including those who will participate in a collaborative, will complete a plan by the end of 2018.
