This is where leaders from across the country and across the campus will come together to share their best integrated planning strategies – leading the way to a path of student success and a bright future for higher education. We want you to be part of it!
You’ll spend 3 days unpacking some of the latest topics such as DEI, post-pandemic the “new normal”, and wellness along with lessons learned over the last 2 years. You’ll walk away with the confidence and tools to begin tough conversations, dig into current practices, and lead your institution toward a culture of integrated planning. We can’t leave out the best part – the people! You’ll meet leaders who are early in their career and seasoned and from all across the campus: academic planning, budget and resource planning, facilities planning, strategic planning, and more!
Make this the year to infuse the foundations of integrated planning in your department, unit, and campus-wide! The SCUP Planning Institute will be offered as a pre-and post-conference workshop. Use these workshops to take a deeper dive into the practices that will help sustain your institution and bolster a culture of integrated planning on campus.
If you’re new to SCUP, use this as a launching pad to build relationships with leaders all across the campus and the country. If SCUP has been your community for years, use this time to connect (or re-connect) with at least one person from every planning discipline. Regardless of where we are, we are all facing common issues and crafting creative ways to solve them. Maximize your processes and strategies by breaking down traditional boundaries and creating new partnerships! The SCUP community is here to help!

The Foundations workshop is part of the SCUP Planning Institute Model.
Successful planning starts with engagement, reflection, and action. Successfully used at countless institutions, our methodology will help ensure that the right people are involved, the right information is analyzed, and the right process is followed for your institution. At SCUPs Planning Institute, we help bring clarity to a complex process and bring your community together to unleash your institution’s potential.
We’re here to help those who are:
Workshop Details
Many strategic planning models don’t work in higher education because they’re not designed for higher education. Strategic planning processes designed for corporations or non-profits don’t account for higher education’s complex environment and the unique challenges it faces.
The SCUP Integrated Planning Model is different. It has been developed exclusively for higher education. Our model will help individuals, teams, and institutions solve their thorniest problems. When you use the SCUP Integrated Planning model, you will get an accurate picture of your external environment, ask hard but necessary questions, and build actionable plans. The result? You’ll do more than implement a strategic plan. You’ll foster a campus-wide culture of institutional planning that is future-proof and sustainable.
This workshop guides you through the foundations of the SCUP Integrated Planning Model. After each workshop, you will go back to your campus with tangible takeaways and tools that you can use to grapple with practical problems.
Who Should Attend
SCUP’s Integrated Planning Model is widely applicable and easily adaptable. It can be used to solve departmental issues or reach an institution-wide goal. It can be tailored to any institution, regardless of size or type.

Workshop Details
There is a stereotype about strategic planning—it only creates plans that sit on the shelf, collecting dust. But plans that are created without building bridges across boundaries are doomed to fail. With the SCUP Integrated Planning Model, you develop the skills to lead your institution in an integrated strategic plan process that leads to putting that plan into action. How? By using a process that is participatory, robust, and sustainable. You will identify who you need to succeed and work with them. You will articulate goals that are relevant, translate those goals into assigned actions, and be ready to adjust those goals when inevitable changes happen. This workshop gives you the framework to develop, implement, and sustain your integrated plan. You will return to your institution with tools, techniques, and skills you can use to leverage your institution’s complex operating environment for change.

When Heather E McGowan and Chris Shipley wrote The Adaptation Advantage (April 2020, Wiley) even they didn’t realize just how quickly their predictions would come to pass. Then the coronavirus global pandemic required an immediate and dramatic shift in work, learning, and leading, and predictions they made for the next three to five years, occurred over the following three to five weeks.
Overnight, companies remapped supply chains, pivoted product lines, and transformed to distributed work-from-home organizations. Entire university and school systems adopted virtual delivery exclusively, something many said they would never do. This new normal requires a laser focus on culture, purpose, trust, and psychological safety as we embark on the largest social experiment in human history. The virus has accelerated our future of work, expedited our human transformation to digital creation, and placed an even greater burden on leaders to inspire and motivate human potential. Even when the virus subsides, many of our new ways of working will remain and we will be the better for this forced transformation.

Presented by: Cindy Bair Van Dam, Faclty Chair, AU Core Curriculum, American University | Brad Knight, Director, AU Core and University College, American University
After 26 years with an entrenched distribution requirement, the private, mid-size American University unanimously approved an inquiry-based core curriculum, which involved reviewing and approving over 500 new courses. The university was able to achieve this immense implementation by forming and reforming task-oriented partnerships—among faculty, upper administration, staff, and students—based on evolving stages of design and implementation. This redesign process was not without difficulties and missteps, but we’ll share how partnerships were key to finding solutions and avoiding the kinds of obstacles that can doom general education reform.
