Integrated Planning: Ideas and Practices That Break Down Silos
SCUP supports integrated planning, which links vision, priorities, people, and resources across the campus in support of the institutional mission and academic plan. It shapes and guides the entire organization as it evolves over time because all areas on campus are linked to each other. What happens in one area almost always impacts another.
