SPSC and Cabinet meet to discuss data collected and Campus feedback on prioritization of themes

Strategic Initiative Working Groups are formed around themes. These working groups create proposals for specific initiatives that would help Loyola achieve the goals embedded in the themes.

Proposed initiatives are reviewed by the SPSC, Cabinet, and other constituencies and selected for inclusion in the plan. Development of selected initiatives continues, including determining resourcing needs and assessment criteria. The SPSC pens the first draft of the plan.

The SPSC shares the draft plan broadly for feedback from all Loyola constituents. The plan is revised and shared with the Loyola Conference, Cabinet, and President for approval.

The Board of Trustees is presented with the final plan for adoption. Loyola begins implementation.
