Leaning into Institutional Effectiveness

Form Follows Function’ Drives the Need to Become a More Coherent Organization

By: Michael Bourgeois, PhD, and Daniel Seymour, PhD

Colleges and universities can transcend fragmented initiatives and cultivate a culture where cohesion is not just a buzzword but a foundational strategy for achieving educational outcomes that truly matter.

From Volume 53 Number 1 | September–December 2024

Abstract: In the labyrinth of higher education, where silos and pigeonholes abound, the principle “formfollows function” reveals a path toward greater coherence. This article explores the intersection of the completion agenda and institutional effectiveness, arguing that the key to unlocking sustainable student success lies in integrated, purpose-driven organizational design. By leaning into the evolution of institutional effectiveness, we propose that colleges and universities can transcend fragmented initiatives and cultivate a culture where cohesion is not just a buzzword but a foundational strategy for achieving educational outcomes that truly matter.

Abstract: As higher education faces the demographic cliff, institutions must find ways to boost enrollment, improve retention, and promote student success with a focus on first-generation students, DEI, and students with learning differences. This session will define the student success trifecta: boosting student learning in their field of study; encouraging the development of strong interpersonal relationships; and embracing the life skills that come with the college experience. We'll combine research with unique, firsthand experience to demonstrate how promoting engagement and designing for a sense of belonging for students on campus looks different for each individual student, institution, and field of study.

Integrated Campus Master Planning for Unprecedented Capital Improvements

By: Michael Hoff, Vice Provost

Universities are complex organizations that must align many different types of plans to maximize success.
Abstract: Universities are complex organizations that must align many different types of plans to maximize success. Integrated planning is vital to the master planning process because it requires support of all university constituencies. This session will describe how integrated planning and the development and implementation process of the East Tennessee State University (ETSU) master plan enabled ETSU to receive external support of more than $400 million for new and renovated capital projects over the past decade. We'll share how to plan across units, gain constituency support, take steps for project proposals that gain state support through competitive approval processes, and ensure the master plan is the foundation for university growth.
