Insight Teams

The 4 Insight Teams were tasked with reviewing the previous Strategic Plan as well as the 2018 Visioning Report and generate input used to create the new Values and Strategic Objectives.

Managing the Process

To manage this massive undertaking, the process has been broken up into different areas and timeline tiers. This began with the formation of the Strategic Planning Oversight Committee, which oversees the planning process.

SPOC

  • This group manages the overall work of the planning process overseeing four distinct working groups. These insight teams are comprised of individuals from many parts of campus which are broken up by the four priorities as founded in the 2018 visioning report.

Four Priorities

  • Each priority became the basis for an Insight Team.  Led by co-chairs also serving on the Oversight Committee, each group benefits from the talents of carefully selected staff, students, and over a dozen faculty.

Below you will find information about the priority and members of that team.

Telling Our Story

The way Shippensburg tells it's story is important. The story telling of who the university is as a whole has changed since the visioning report and the previous work done on the 2016-2021 strategic plan. Since then, areas have increased their story telling through our website, social media and other avenues. It is important that this is also a part of the distilled four priorities into the 2021-2024 Strategic Plan as well.

As the committee continues their work, this page will be continually updated. Please come back soon to check the progress.

Community Contribution

The contribution of the Community into the work of the university is imperative. The responsibility to promote continued success and growth of students falls on every member of the Shippensburg Community. Due to this, Community Contribution is needed and expected in the process of creating the University Strategic Plan.

Quality

Quality of the SHIP experience has been integral as one of the four priorities from the 2016 visioning team report. As the Strategic Planning Oversight Committee (SPOC) works, this group evaluates how "Quality" is shown through this document.
