TIMELINE CHART - (Specific dates)

October 2007

Selection of a consultant group.

October 2007 - February 2008 - Phase I

First is the Visioning Phase, where we’ll discuss who we are, what we’re going to be, and how we’ll align our goals and values with those of the University. We’ll engage a consultant group to help us, and we’ll have an Advisory Committee, which will be a broad-based group of senior level campus administrators from student affairs, campus planning, and the academic side, which will include undergrad education. When we lay this out for the next 15-20 years, it’s important that we engage the University because that’s whom we serve.

February - June 2008 — Phase II

Second will be the Data Collection and Analysis Phase. We’ll have focus groups for our employees, customers and stakeholders, along with market research and surveys, so we can look at what the private sector is building out there and see what the market’s saying. We need to ask lots of questions.

June - September 2008 — Phase III

Once we gather and analyze all that data, we move on to the Integration Phase, where we can pull it all together. As we then look toward the future, we have a pretty good roadmap, and we’ll feel like we can make some good decisions.
