Next Steps

• A series of focus groups need to be done with prospective students, current students and alumni for appropriate fit.
• A Metric Team will be created to articulate how we will measure the strategic plan.
• A Financial Planning Model has been built to model what we need to do to fund the goals and initiatives.
Next Steps
• Centenary College’s graphic arts students are working on an emblem that will best explain the vision for the strategic plan.
• After the students have completed the emblem, we will allow the entire college community to vote on which one they like best.
• Thanks to Gary Caal and all the hard work he is doing with his students to meet this goal.
Strategic Plan in Action
• Through careful financial modeling and trend analysis, the President with Executive Staff will identify which initiatives will be commissioned, how they will be measured, and what resources will be needed.
• An Executive Staff member will own the initiative and work with the VP of Strategic Implementation to create a project charter and project plan for execution.
• Every two years, the community will review the accomplishments over the past two years and examine the next two years in order to make adjustments as needed.
