The University Strategic Planning Initiative Steering Committee will conduct internal analyses, gather recommendations and ideas from the University community, and identify priority areas of focus before creating a strategic plan draft document for review by the Boston College Board of Trustees.
The Steering Committee will kick off an assessment process in February 2016, with self-study teams at each of the eight schools and colleges and all vice presidential administrative areas to evaluate progress made during the past 10 years, identify trends and changes in higher education that may affect Boston College, and explore strategic opportunities. Additionally, there will be several study teams that will assess University-wide initiatives that span multiple schools, departments, or divisions.
The self-studies, which are slated to be completed by the end of the spring semester, will then be reviewed by the Steering Committee and the Executive Committee to examine proposals within the context of the University’s mission, ongoing institutional goals, and available resources.
