Stay Informed
It’s one thing to promise transparency, but another to deliver it. We will make that happen through regular communication, both here and through other outlets like Inside Purdue Fort Wayne and messages from the Chancellor and the Strategic Planning Steering Committee.
In addition to encouraging campus input and perspectives through meetings, focus groups, and surveys, we want to hear from you throughout the process. Send the Steering Committee an idea or feedback at any time. All you have to do is “Share Your Voice.”

November 2019 • Open Forums

- Wednesday, November 6, 3 p.m., Liberal Arts Building, Room 159

- Thursday, November 14, noon, Science Building, Room 168
Refinement Process
We engaged our campus community in one last effort to collect feedback on the strategic plan. Our goal with the refinement process was to carefully review and refine the language of our objectives and strategic activities to ensure clarity of intention and maximum positive impact. Throughout the process we strove to ensure that each member of our campus community could see themselves and the direct ways they help us advance and achieve our collective strategy in the plan.
To support that effort, we held a series of focus groups to collect additional feedback on our objectives and strategic activities. We listened to what others had to say and received many specific ideas for improving our plan.
- September 30–October 25: Focus groups and survey
- November 4: Revised draft sent to campus
- November 5–November 15: Open forums to discuss revised draft
