Central Washington University Board of Trustees May 16, 2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – NWCCU Year-One Mission, Core Themes, and Strategic Planning Report CWU is scheduled to submit the Year-One Mission, Core Themes, and Strategic Planning report to the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) in spring 2020. The NWCCU has provided two sources of guidance for this report. First, the Evaluation Committee that visited CWU in October 2018 and the Board of Commissioners that convened in January 2019 recommended that CWU “integrate division plans into a comprehensive institutional plan that is tied to the core themes and assessment data.” Second, the NWCCU Standards of Accreditation require that the entire university community participate in the review of, and any changes to, the Core Themes, Mission Statement, and University Strategic Plan. CWU will commence university-wide discussion of Core Themes in May 2019. Core theme development will be used to inform divisional strategic planning and the crafting of the university mission statement. Then, the core themes, divisional plans, and mission statement will inform the development of the university strategic plan. Year-One Report preparation will include the following: • University-wide input through open forums, surveys, focus groups, and interviews • Discussions with the Board of Trustees, President, Cabinet, Faculty Senate, Academic Department Chairs Organization (ADCO), Exempt Employee Association, Classified Staff Employee Council, and Associated Students of CWU (ASCWU)
• Faculty-facilitated discussions within and across colleges and departments.
