Hack College's School Directory Work Smarter, Not Harder

Mission and Strategic Planning Cal State East Bay’s strategic planning process is intended to lead to greater organizational effectiveness, better use of resources, and achievement of university goals and objectives. Through the use of evidence to inform decisions and assessment to evaluate the results of actions, Cal State East Bay will be able to guide its future with confidence. Strategic Planning Process The current strategic planning process began in 2005 with a highly participative process to develop a new list of University Goals and Objectives adopted in May 2006. In October 2006, University President Mo Qayoumi initiated a series of 21 Town Hall meetings across the entire University, which shaped the seven mandates in the University’s Framework for the Future (pdf)[1]. In 2008, the University approved its new Academic Plan (pdf)[2] and identified initial priorities for implementation. More specific academic, physical, and divisional plans continue to be developed to sustain support for the University’s mission and values into the future. The Strategic Planning Summary, April 2008 (pdf)[3] outlines the University’s strategic plans and priorities. Strategic Planning Model Cal State East Bay’s streamlined strategic planning model involves the following essential elements: Strategic Planning Model for Cal State East Bay illustrates the tiers described in the text. At California State University, East Bay, academic and enrollment planning drive support services, faculty and staff recruitment, budget development, information systems, physical planning, external relations, and fund raising, as illustrated by the above diagram. Academic planning in the first tier, reflects the mission of the University. Enrollment follows, with students at the center of the second tier, supported by academic and student services, and by the faculty and staff who offer these services. The third tier includes the underlying infrastructure. The University recognizes that many of the relationships shown by the directional arrows are reciprocal. For example, while students need instructors, services, and facilities; maintaining high quality, respected faculty, strong co-curricular programs, and a well-maintained campus can attract and retain students. Strategic Planning Relationships The administrative divisions of Cal State East Bay provide action plans and coordination of the strategic plan elements. The Seven Strategic Mandates Table (pdf)[4] shows the divisions responsible for coordination of the seven mandates outlined in the Framework for the Future, and implementation relationships.
