  3. Status Quo is not an option

  4. LSSU Mission and Vision Statement • Our principal mission at Lake Superior State University is to help students develop their full potential. We do this by providing high-quality, academically rigorous programs in an engaged, personal and supportive environment. This combination nurtures potential and sets students on paths to rewarding careers and productive, satisfying lives. We also serve the regional, national and global communities by contributing to the growth, dissemination and application of knowledge.

  5. Strategic Questions • Who are we? • Where are we going? • What will it look like when we get there? • How are we going to pay for our future?

  6. Shared Values (draft) • Core Values Process • The Shared Governance Strategic Planning and Budget Committee is charged with helping develop the university strategic plan. To begin this process, the Committee, after reading several documents, including Jim Collins Aligning Actions and Values and the current mission and vision statements, determined that the logical starting place was to document the core values of the university. A survey was created and distributed to as many people on campus as could be reached.

  7. Core Values (draft) • Excellence in Teaching and Learning. Teaching is our first priority and focuses on providing student/faculty interaction, learning, and research in current, relevant programs. • Opportunity. Students have a wide range of opportunities to grow academically, professionally, culturally and socially. Opportunities are provided via work-study assignments, student organizations, internships, community outreach and leadership. • Diversity. Students experience a campus community environment which is inclusive and welcoming.

  8. Core Values (draft) • Ethics and Values. The University promotes an environment which values honesty, openness, and courteous behavior where everyone is treated with respect. • Stewardship. LSSU provides a framework in which to leave the university and region financially and environmentally sound for future generations of LSSU students, alumni, and friends.

  10. Strategic Planning Process • A cross section of LSSU employees and the Board of Trustees (BOT) met for 1½ days in July and developed a comprehensive set of seven goals that support the mission and vision of LSSU. The Strategic Planning & Budget Advisory Committee is working to solidify those goals by developing 7-12 realistic action plans for each goal. The committee will be meeting with representatives from all of LSSU’s constituencies during the next 4-6 months to create the action plans, identify how the action plans will be measured, and determine which areas across campus will have responsibilities to ensure the action plans are carried out as planned. The entire process will be completed by February 15, 2011 with open review periods planned for public comment and input.
