Agenda

Through an integrated planning process, Keene State College has aligned its strategic priorities for academic excellence with its academic, facility, financial, human, and technology resources. This alignment has created greater value at a modest cost. The President will describe the breadth of campus outcomes derived from the process and how they have improved campus stability and reputation. The Provost will describe how active learning and student engagement have transformed the curriculum and student outcomes. The Vice President will describe how campus mission and priorities are linked to resources and have transformed the College’s facilities. Participants will gain an insight into the processes contributing to continuous improvement, resource alignment, transparent decision making, and campus engagement.

Keene State College Architecture students—active participants in planning the campus—will lead two tours: One to academic facilities and one to residential and student life facilities. Grounds staff will lead a third tour through the Keene State College campus which serves as an active arboretum.

The Chancellor began his college administrative career at Keene State College in the 1970s and joined the University System in 1979. Since that time he has seen and supported the College’s physical transformation. He has overseen policy development for campus master planning and facilities assessment. His presentation will discuss how these resources help communicate consistent messages about campus vision and priorities.

These campus leaders will discuss how the planning process—and the curriculum and facility transformations derived from it—have changed how they communicate with their constituencies. These multiple perspectives on campus transformation illustrate the value of an integrated approach to campus planning.

Keene State College students will discuss how their academic and student life experiences have been influenced by curricular and facility transformations. They offer diverse perspectives as both traditional and non-traditional students.

Come relax and network with your SCUP colleagues for light hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar.
