This website has been created as a method to keep everyone abreast of the work that is being done surrounding the new Strategic Plan for the college. Please refer back to this website for ongoing updates. All faculty and staff will be critical to the development and implementation of our new Strategic Plan.
We welcome your questions, comments, suggestions or feedback.
In fall 2022, Dean Hand tasked Associate Dean Voncella McCleary-Jones to assemble a Strategic Planning Core Organizing Group to conduct preliminary work, prior to engaging a larger group of college faculty/staff and other stakeholders in this work. The charge for this group was to facilitate a sustained college-wide effort to develop a strategic plan that would consider the college’s current position and desired future position. These efforts would conclude with a plan designed to guide future planning and decision-making processes through 2028. The end result of this group’s work being a document aligning the college with the University’s mission and long-range opportunities and priorities to benefit all stakeholders.
The CHP secured the services of Ms. Laurie Schulte of The Clarion Group to facilitate our work to develop the new strategic plan. An initial 2-day strategic planning session was held in Feb. 2023. Attendees included college-wide leadership representatives, as well as representatives of the WSU Foundation and the Dean’s Advisory Council. This group developed a Strategic Map 2023-2026, which was presented to the College at the March 3, 2023 CHP Town Hall.
During summer and fall 2023, three work groups were formed to further the work on the Tracks of Work identified in the spring 2023 2-day Strategic Planning Retreat. Members of the work groups and Tracks of Work are listed below. Each group submitted initial and revised documents for each Track of Work, which were reviewed by CHP Administration in Fall 2023.

The CHP Strategic Planning Core Organizing Group sought faculty and staff input and voted on the need to update the CHP Mission and Vision statement to more closely align with the current WSU Mission and Vision statement.
The group proposed three (3) alternate CHP Mission & Vision statements for the faculty/staff to place their final vote.
A college-wide vote was held in November 2022, and a new Mission and Vision was selected.
