LATEST UPDATE ON STRATEGIC PLANNING:
March 27, 1998

The Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) has released its final recommendations in Strategic Plan: 1998-2002. These recommendations incorporate suggestions made by the campus and community in response to the second review draft, distributed in January. The committee submitted its recommendations to the university administration, which in turn forwarded the planning document to the NMSU Board of Regents.

The purpose of the strategic plan recommended by the SPC is "to make NMSU stronger academically and more intellectually exciting and user-friendly during the next five years." The planning document recommends goals and strategies to guide NMSU as it builds on its strengths to meet the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century.

The Board of Regents at its public meeting on March 27, 1998, received the planning recommendations of the Strategic Planning Committee and thanked the committee and subcommittees for their efforts. The Board also indicated the planning document would be a reference for Regents' discussion at upcoming retreats of the Board.
