Albany – State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher
today released a draft of the strategic plan
that will guide SUNY for the next five years and advise SUNY in its development
for the next decade. The document is now available online [PDF].
The release
of the draft plan marks the conclusion of the statewide conversations,
or Phase II of the
planning process, and the start of the transition to Phase III.
The third
phase will be a series of launch events across the state, details
of which will be available in the near future. Following the launch, SUNY
will embark on Phase IV,
the implementation of the final plan.
Phase I, the
Chancellor’s campus tour, took place
over the summer of 2009 when Chancellor Zimpher visited all 64 campuses in her
first three months at SUNY. Phase II, the series of statewide
conversations focusing on specific themes
surrounding the plan, finished last week at the capstone event.
The unifying theme of the
strategic planning process is SUNY’s capacity to be a catalyst for
the economic revitalization of the State of New York and improve the quality of life for its citizens.
