Academy Council

SCUP’s Planning Academies serve as communities of practice—cohorts of members grouped by expertise who exchange knowledge with each other and contribute expertise to SCUP. The Academy Council provides leadership to SCUP’s Planning Academies. They also contribute to the work of the SCUP Council and the Annual Conference Committee.

The Planning Academies and Academy Council supports SCUP’s strategic plan initiatives adopted by the SCUP Board. The council supports the following initiatives:

Engage our Communities in Creating and Delivering Value

Strategy: Engagement – Enhance and expand opportunities to connect individuals, institutions, and organizations that advance higher education.

Deliver Learning that Strengthens and Transforms Higher Education Planning

Strategy: Institutional Support – Develop, implement, and continually improve services to develop institutional planning capabilities.
Strategy: Collaborative Learning – Create stakeholder networks designed to improve collaboration, share effective practices, and solve critical problems facing our stakeholders.
