Last month the university officially announced that it had formed a complete steering committee which is intended to “guide [the university’s] planning process as [it] develops a new strategic plan for Wright State University, according to a campus-wide email.
The committee consists of 33 individuals from Wright State including students, alumni, employees and leaders of the Dayton community. It is co-chaired among University President Cheryl Schrader, Chair of the Department of Management and International Business David Bright and Director of the Applied Policy Institute Michael Wiehe, according to the email.
The university’s planning process, known as “The Wright Path to 2025,” has four phases: engagement (the current phase), development (which will take place in the summer), review and feedback (fall 2018) and implementation.
Over this nine-month process, the steering committee will host multiple forums within the upcoming academic semesters. Its first forum was held at the Wright State Lake Campus on Friday, Feb. 2.
The forum is one of many opportunities for the community to provide input, according to Schrader.
“We will be finding out from you what makes Wright State special and what picture is envision for our future,” said Schrader at the forum, according to a release.
The committee is expected to host an event in April during which it will present an updated missions, values and vision statement to the public. The statements may continue to evolve as the committee makes more progress and determines the effectiveness of strategies, according to the Wright State Newsroom.
