Looking Ahead: CWU is working with the newly formed Advisory Board to identify the community needs for education. Future initiatives include: • launching a summer youth camp, • offering a graduate degree program, and • prospective delivery of professional development programs. Introduction of New Administrators Provost Frank introduced the new deans in ASL: • Shawnte Elbert, Associate Dean, Health and Wellness • Greg Heinselman, Dean, Student Success • Rebecca Lubas Dean of Libraries • Jeff Stinson, Dean, College of Business NWCCU After-Action Report On 11 January, President Gaudino, Provost Frank, Dr. Amy Claridge (Faculty Senate Chair), Lidia Anderson (Classified Staff Council Chair), and Dr. Bernadette Jungblut (Associate Provost – Accreditation, Academic Planning, and Assessment) attended the NWCCU commissioners’ meeting in Seattle. Prior to that meeting, all 21 commissioners had an opportunity to review the CWU Mission Fulfillment and Sustainability Self-Evaluation Report; the SharePoint evidence repository; the Accreditation Data Dashboard; and the site visit Evaluation Committee’s report. During the meeting, the two commissioners assigned to CWU (Dr. Bogdan Hoanca, Professor of Management Information Systems at the University of Alaska Anchorage, and Dr. Susan Capalbo, Senior Vice Provost at Oregon State University) had the opportunity to highlight items from the self-evaluation materials and to ask follow-up questions. Overall, the discussion was very positive, and the CWU representatives believe thorough answers were provided for all questions. CWU’s NWCCU Year One Mission and Core Themes self-evaluation report is due March 2020. CWU is required to review and revise (as the institution sees fit) the mission, vision, and core themes. The identification of “meaningful, assessable, and verifiable indicators of achievement” will entail the revision of the university strategic plan. CWU will also need to integrate other plans with the university strategic plan: for example, the comprehensive retention plan and the strategic enrollment management plan. CWU will follow the same, university-wide inclusive process used to complete the October 2018 Mission Fulfillment and Sustainability self-evaluation report. This process is based on multiple opportunities for contributing to the enhancement of the CWU mission and core themes and strategic plan development including the following: open forums, unit-level discussions, interviews with faculty and staff, student focus groups, and opportunities for trustees’ review, feedback, and recommendations. Strategic Enrollment Plan The Board of Trustees reviewed a working draft of the Strategic Enrollment (SE) Plan 2019-2025 during the July 26-27, 2018 board retreat. The draft included three broad enrollment goals and strategies to attain those goals. Following their review of the document, the Board requested that “input be sought through broad campus conversations and that a complete draft be developed during the [AY18-19] academic year.”
