About the Committee

The Strategic Plan Committee is responsible for overseeing the University’s progress towards achieving the plan’s goals and outcomes. Reporting to President’s Cabinet and providing regular updates to JPBC, the Strategic Plan Committee will generally meet monthly and is charged with the following:

• Coordinate the implementation and assessment of the Building a Better Brockport 2022-2027 Strategic Plan.
  
  • Form and charge four Goal Groups to operationalize the strategic plan. Regularly collect updates from each goal group on progress towards goals.
  • Review strategies from the original strategic plan, determine if progress has been made to implement them, and identify other potential efforts to advance the future of the university. Work with Goal Groups on the implementation of potential addition and/or revision of strategies.
  • Collect and analyze measurable progress towards achieving the strategic plan’s goals and outcomes.
    
    • Ensure the collection of information is aligned with institutional budget timelines, as well as divisional and departmental assessment timelines. Aim to utilize existing annual reporting processes to reduce the burden on reporting areas and units.
    • Analyze data and the degree to which progress has been made.
    • Track resources utilized, and requested, related to the University’s strategic plan.
    • Create an end of year report to provide to the President which includes an overview of the work of each Goal Group and the assessment of Strategic Plan progress.
• Develop and implement a communication plan to ensure that students, faculty, staff, and community members are aware of progress and outcomes on a regular basis.
  
  • Providing regular updates to the University throughout the academic year (expected 2 times per year)
  • Creating a comprehensive annual report and a high-level executive summary on an annual basis.

Mission & Goals

SUNY Brockport is an inclusive learning community that inspires excellence through growth, engagement, and transformation.

• To be a great college at which to learn
• To be a college engaged with its community
• To be a sustainable and thriving college for the 21st century
• To be a great college at which to work

Each Goal Group will focus on the implementation of each strategy listed under the relevant goal. Generally, the Goal Group will identify the lead department/person and collect information from that area.

1. Review progress against the metrics and KPIs related to each goal. Communicate progress, ensure there is transparency and collect feedback from stakeholders across the university.
2.  Assign responsibility for determining who is responsible for leading the effort to develop and/or implement each strategy. Identify if there are existing committees that are, or can be charged with this work. Be future-focused and provide recommendations and ideas to the Steering Committee to further the university’s efforts towards each of the four main goals.
3. Review data and information gathered by Institutional Research & Analysis, key campus stakeholders and departments to determine progress toward goals. Contribute to the annual report on progress towards each goal. Goal Groups should reflect on:
   1. Are objectives being achieved or not? If they are, then acknowledge and communicate the progress. If not, then consider the following questions:
      1. Will the objectives be achieved according to the timelines specified in the plan? If not, then why? Should the deadlines for completion be changed?
      2. Are the objectives still realistic? Have the correct metrics been identified?
