Strategic Plan
Recognizing the need for a new strategic plan to guide NC State, Chancellor
Oblinger initiated a process in fall 2005 to develop a new one. The
campus leadership - including deans, executive officers, faculty leadership,
and a department heads' representative - drafted a new plan for review
by faculty, students, and staff. The new plan was finalized after review
by the Board of Trustees in April 2006.
