Dear IU South Bend faculty, staff, and students,
With the launch of the IU 2030 strategic plan and our Building a Brighter Future plan commitments, we have a clear roadmap for our shared future at Indiana University South Bend. Now comes the crucial and exciting work of implementing the initiatives outlined in each of the pillars of our IU South Bend IU 2030 plan and Building a Brighter Future. This message provides an update on how we will begin work in earnest to carefully shape our approach to plan implementation.
First, thanks to all who provided input into the development of goals and metrics within our plan. As we move forward, our implementation efforts will be crucial to ensuring that our IU 2030 goals and Building a Brighter Future commitments will come fully to life.
Second, to support a coordinated implementation effort that allows us to clearly report on our progress, celebrate our shared accomplishments and ensure we are nimble in our approach, our Campus Directions Committee (CDC) will continue in its role of ensuring we are reaching the goals outlined.
The CDC, in coordination with the Chancellor and senior campus leaders, will shape our planning efforts. An implementation plan will be developed this summer that will prepare IU South Bend to begin the new academic year with a clear and robust path forward.
This new IU 2030 plan will help us reach some big, bold goals together and I look forward to how our IU 2030 strategic plan and our Building a Brighter Future commitments will pay dividends to our campus, all of IU, our students and to the communities we serve.
