SCUP Planning Institute

Step II:
Focused Knowledge for Integrated Planning Processes

Target Audiences:

Planners who have become proficient in their main area of responsibility and need to learn the language and practices of other planning specialties to advance integrated planning on their campuses. Starting in July 2009, completing Step I will be a requirement to register for Step II.

Session Overview:

The SCUP Walnut College case study is the basis for practicing an integrated planning process that results in a plan reflecting the collaboration of all functional areas at Walnut College. In the process of creating the plan, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the needs and issues confronting key functional areas on campus during a planning initiative. In particular, the intersection of academic, resource/budget, and facilities planning defines a nexus for learning specific planning tactics.

Each phase of an integrated planning process is accompanied by the application of core content to Walnut College. Throughout the workshop, the role of assessment in each planning phase is highlighted as the extension of the principles of evidence-based planning presented in Step I.

Participants leave Step II having…

• Worked in functional and cross-functional teams to identify significant planning priorities for Walnut College;
• Collaborated on the strategies Walnut College should pursue;
• Written a plan for Walnut College; and
• Determined actions to incorporate integrated planning practices on their campuses.

Completion of Step II is required for registration in Step III.
