TRANSFORMATIONAL ACTIVITIES : What We’ve Been Doing & Where We Want to Go  Invested over $10 million in academic programs: The Quality Fund  Successful 10 year re-accreditation by North Central Accreditation  Ground discussion of institutional measures of progress that can be used to assess whether we are on the way to achieving our goal of becoming a world-grant university and a leading land-grant research university by 2012

TRANSFORMATIONAL ACTIVITIES : What We’ve Been Doing & Where We Want to Go  Provide overarching framework for the university’s engagement on the global stage in the 21 st century  Re-envision the annual budget process for the university

10 Institutional Transformation: What We’ve Done in the Past  Build upon & promote interdisciplinary and cross- unit collaborations  low entry barriers  Strengthen the undergraduate experience  Strengthen liberal arts and sciences  Expand undergraduate living & learning options  Strengthen and enrich graduate education and research  Improve acquisition, use and allocation of resources.
