SCUP Planning Institute Step I: Foundations of Planning in Higher EducationSCUPChampaign, IL Higher education planning presents unique challenges and circumstances that requires a special set of knowledge, skills, and expertise. Participants in this full-day workshop will learn how to employ their planning skills in a higher education environment.
We will outline the fundamentals of planning, including political considerations, within the college, university, and community college settings. These fundamentals include how the planning function may be organized and executed in a range of institutional types. Participants will gain insights into how strategic planning can help institutions mobilize for action, aid in the effective allocation of resources, and gain competitive advantage. Participants will leave Step I with an increased appreciation of the various issues and practical tactics associated with the successful implementation of a planning process in an institution of higher education. SCUP's Walnut College case study allows participants to apply new skills and knowledge acquired throughout the workshop to the problems and concerns of higher education planning. This is Step I of SCUP's three-step Planning Institute, leading to a certificate of completion.
