SCUP Planning Institute
Step I:
Foundations of Planning Within the Context of Higher Education
Target Audiences:
Individuals new to the field of higher education planning and
those who want to gain a deeper understanding of the higher education planning
environment.
Session Overview:
Participants in this one-day workshop will acquire an understanding of the
fundamentals of planning—including political considerations—within college,
university, and community college settings. These fundamentals include how the
planning function may be organized and executed in a range of institutional
types. Participants also will gain insights into how strategic planning can help
institutions:
- Mobilize for action
- Aid in the effective allocation of resources
- Gain competitive advantage
You will leave Step I with an increased appreciation of the various issues and
practical tactics associated with the successful implementation of a planning
process in an institution of higher education. SCUP's Walnut College case
study allows you to apply what you are learning in the workshop to the
problems and concerns of planning.
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.
