Strategic Planning Advisory Council

The Strategic Planning Advisory Council (SPAC) is one of two purposeful constituency groups that will provide input and insight throughout the planning process.

SPAC consists of members of the President's Cabinet, academic deans and other senior leaders. The council will serve as a sounding board for ideas and feedback throughout the strategic planning process. Engagement with this group will strengthen the university-wide understanding of why change is needed and help to build consensus among stakeholders during the process.
