Our Charge:
The Visioning Team explored the questions of who we are and how we want to be and then agreed upon a vocabulary to describe our work and define our purpose moving forward. Through discussions with faculty, staff, students, alumni, administrators, and community stakeholders, they were tasked with identifying patterns that might help us craft a clear vision for our direction and create a vocabulary describing our identity. This included identifying the practices that make us who we are and aspirational practices, the implementation of which will mark our future path. Our main goal was to clearly articulate the academic, administrative, and educational activities that, when we engage them, truly make us a model for an urban-serving HSI research university in the 21st Century.
