Creating the Future ▪ 2012
A strategic plan presented to the UVa-Wise College Board on May 18, 2007.
Executive Summary
Since 2000, The University of Virginia’s College at Wise has made extraordinary progress in its academic programs, physical plant, and enrollment growth. Building on this momentum, our academic community must develop a clear vision of what UVa-Wise will be in the future. Though it would be naive to believe that from our current vantage point we could see all that lies ahead, we cannot abdicate our duty to define our dreams and set our sights high.
Creating the Future ▪ 2012 focuses our efforts in student success, outreach and visibility. Thirteen strategic initiatives will guide and unite the College’s faculty, staff, students, and leadership in moving forward:
▪ Student Success
Expand targeted academic programs – international business, MIS, CS, SE, human services counseling, nursing, visual and performing arts, and teacher education.
Create a college-wide global emphasis.
Enhance faculty and student research & creative works.
Streamline the community college transfer process.
Enhance the freshman and sophomore experiences.
Recruit and retain a diverse student body, faculty, and staff.
Build an attractive and accessible campus to accommodate growth
▪ Outreach
Establish an Office of Economic Development.
Prepare middle school students for the collegiate experience and create faculty partnerships between high schools, community colleges, and UVa-Wise.
Develop and implement a University/College partnership in healthcare, K-12 education, and economic development.
Strengthen service to community and region.
▪ Viability
Complete a successful fundraising campaign.
Increase UVa-Wise’s visibility in Virginia and the nation.
To facilitate thoughtful discussion about long-term enrollment growth, financial growth models for three enrollment targets are included.
