Following recent presentations to and feedback from the Dean’s Council and University Leadership Council, the Strategic Plan 2031 Core Team continues to refine the outcomes, milestones, resources, metrics and contingencies outlined in the plan’s implementation proposals, which the 18 priority leads and their respective teams developed in May.
The Executive Leadership Team will use this information to determine how the Strategic Plan 2031 priorities will be sequenced and resourced. Metrics will be used to measure progress toward achieving the strategic plan priorities and objectives, and to communicate that progress to the ELT and Board of Trustees.
In the coming weeks, the ELT will name a Strategic Plan 2031 implementation team. Watch Marquette Today for updates.
