2005

Throughout the months of August and September 2005, every non-academic department had the opportunity to participate in a training program which included an overview of the NWHSU 2005-2010 strategic plan and initiatives. Departments were asked to develop goals related to the 2005/2006 strategic initiative, "Growth for Excellence". They answered the question, "How can your department contribute to the excellence of the institution within the current budget and responsibilities of the department?"

Each department created a specific goal, using the SMART goal format and tracked their own progress for the next three month period. Results will be used by each department to determine whether their efforts were successful and how the results may affect future departmental and university planning and decision making.
