The following message is from Dr. Anneli Adams & Dr. Joan McGee:

Good afternoon to everyone!

CSN’s new 2010-2017 strategic plan draft is now available on our Web site. The link is:

On this site is also the Web cast presentation from last Monday’s President’s Cabinet meeting, in case you were unable to attend and want to review that meeting.

Following a comprehensive and inclusive two-year process of open forums, e-mails, phone calls, surveys (more than half of the respondents were students!) and personal contacts with hundreds of people, the plan was put together very thoughtfully and deliberately. The Board of Regents approved our new mission, vision and values statements last April, and we anticipate going to the Board again at the end of this year to approve the rest of this draft plan.

Thanks to every single one of you for providing us the input from which the committee crafted the goals and objectives, followed by the strategies and indicators to show the yearly progress we make toward achieving the optimistic goals and objectives contained in the plan. We remain the higher education institution of choice in Nevada, and should be very proud of our access, quality and diversity that bring more students through our doors than any other college or university in this state.
Committee members were:

Tom Rosenberger Faculty, and Dept. Chair, Hospitality Mgmt
John Ziebell Faculty, and Dept. Chair, English
Barbara Graham Professor of Physical Sciences, Dept. of Physical Sciences
Mark Rauls Professor of Philosophy, and Senate Chair
Bob Bonora Professor of Music, Fine Arts Dept.

We were honored to help facilitate this huge undertaking, and are very proud of this document. It is the result of a lot of hard work by a great many dedicated and talented people here at CSN, and supporters we have out in the community. Should you have any last minute feedback after reviewing the entire plan, please share your comments with either Anneli Adams (anneli.adams@csn.edu) or Joan McGee (joan.mcgee@csn.edu).

Cheers,

Joan and Anneli
