- Position MSUB for Programmatic Accreditations and the Board of Regents program review mandates.
- Develop operational guidelines to Integrate the university’s values (who are we?), mission (what do we claim to do), integrity (are we doing it), effectiveness (How well are we doing it), and evaluation (How do we know).
- Understand the needs of the people who are served by MSUB.
- Identify and define measures of success.
- Brainstorm potential change strategies for improvement.
- Plan, collect, and use data for facilitating effective decision making.
