Join a growing number of institute graduates. Here's what current graduates had to say:"Finishing all three steps of the institute and receiving the certificate means a lot to me…attending all three [steps of the institute] was among the most rewarding activities in which I have participated [during] my career. All of the instructors did superb jobs, the materials distributed were first class, and the discussions with the other attendees were invaluable." —Neal E. Armstrong "I am very proud of the certificate I received after completing the three steps. The instructors helped us see the value in planning from many different perspectives. I had fun with the case studies and everyone came away with some valuable lessons. We all found some connection in the lectures to our home institution or place of employment." —Noreen Mashaw "The SCUP institute was one of the best I've been to on any topic. The faculty were great and I made lots of valuable contacts." —Brendan Bowen "The institute was terrific. SCUP puts on the best professional development seminars of any I've attended. The content and faculty are always excellent." —Bronson Dorsey Overview of SCUP's Planning InstituteSCUP's Planning Institute is designed to give you an understanding of integrated campus planning issues and processes and to help you develop your analytical, strategic, and practical implementation skills. The three steps of the institute build on one another to allow you to continue enhancing your effectiveness as a planner in higher education. Whether you are new to the field or are an experienced professional, you will find the institute is a great way to network with colleagues, learn best practices, and strengthen your contribution to integrating your institution's planning process. The institute is the culmination of development efforts and recommendations from a cross-section of professionals with extensive experience in all types of campuses. It uses intensive educational experiences of one to three and one-half days to provide efficient learning venues for planners. Highly skilled faculty come from across the spectrum of post-secondary education. They facilitate your learning through engaging exercises, lecture, group discussion, and case study analysis. The institute also offers you the opportunity to join a network of planning colleagues that extends beyond the exchange of knowledge in the workshop experience. The institute themes include: Step I—Foundations of Planning Within the Context of Higher Education Each of the institute's three steps builds on the knowledge gained in the preceding step. Participants who attend all three steps will receive a framed SCUP Planning Institute Certificate of Completion. We believe that the greatest learning experience for integrated higher education planning occurs for those who attend all three steps in sequence. Completion of Step II is required for Step III. During the spring of 2008, the SCUP Planning Institute is undergoing a program review. We anticipate that the results of the review will help us improve each of the steps. The foundations of the planning institute will not change. As we incorporate what we've learned through participant feedback and a review by experts, we expect that some of the learning outcomes and content may move among the steps. Changes will not be introduced until the fall of 2008 in Step I and January of 2009 for Steps II and III. Bring your team and save!
