CI for 2030+
California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) is launching it's next strategic planning effort with the goal of completion in April 2025. This will be a challenging endeavor, to be sure. Campus conversations at numerous levels around strategic planning have been going on since mid-2021. The process has been one that allowed various opportunities for consultation, input, and feedback.
It will be the responsibility of the Strategic Planning Steering Committee to recommend a vision statement and finalized goals for our 2030+ plan. Once our vision and goals are finalized: (1) workgroups for each goal will be created; (2) metrics for each strategic goal will be identified and vetted through the Strategic Planning Committee and the campus community; and (3) action plans will be created by the Strategic Planning Committee and vetted through outreach to the campus community.
Strategic Directions through 2024-25
Cabinet members and the President created the structure of this Framework in 2023 by identifying four directions that met the criteria of being: (1) essential, (2) already underway or beginning soon, and (3) achievable or significantly achievable by the end of the 2024-25 academic year. The four directions are (1) Academic & Campus Identity, (2) Student Experience, (3) Campus Culture, and (4) Sustainability, Growth & Resources. These four new Strategic Directions serve as a bridge connecting our 2018-23 Strategic Initiatives that sunsetted at the end of Spring 2023, our WSCUC visit in April 2024, and our next full strategic plan: CSUCI for 2030+ to be developed in 2024-25.
