Office of the President

Dear CT State Community,  

We are excited to announce the launch of CT State’s inaugural, comprehensive, college-wide strategic planning process. This process will help provide clear direction through a series of engagements that create space to articulate our shared priorities and vision as we progress as a singly accredited institution embracing the ‘one college, many communities’ model.

Strategic planning officially begins this fall, by establishing clear expectations for the college, the steering committee, and sharing more information on the progress of our institution. We will launch a college-wide engagement event in the spring that is led by our peers that will ultimately help inform the strategic plan’s development. 

To help communicate and keep you informed of our steps and goals, we have prepared a dedicated strategic planning website informed by discussions with college governance, campus presidents and colleagues across our institution, to help ensure full transparency throughout the process. This is a working webpage that will continue to be updated. There you’ll find our planning vision, strategic anchors, values and an overview of the timeline that we’re anticipating. The anchors and values are designed to help keep us grounded through planning, keeping in mind a few of our critical areas to pay attention to. Regular updates on strategic planning will also be shared on the website.

To ensure broad representation through planning, we are announcing an exciting opportunity to help facilitate and lead the college’s work in developing its inaugural strategic plan. Below, you’ll find more information to nominate yourself or another qualified colleague to join the Strategic Planning Steering Committee that will help guide the process, connect planning to campus operations and student experiences, and serve as ambassadors of engagement across our 12 campuses and statewide community.
