13 Aug NDSU Strategic Planning Committee to begin work
Interim Provost Ken Grafton has announced the members of the Strategic Planning Committee, a key group responsible for developing a new strategic plan for the university.
“The current plan expires in 2020 and we are now beginning the effort to create a new strategic plan,” Grafton said. “We are pleased to be working with Collaborative Brain Trust, a nationwide consultancy specializing in higher education planning, to facilitate this campuswide process.”
