Avalone Presents at SCUP 2022 Annual Conference

Valarie Avalone, director of Institutional Planning, Effectiveness & Accountability, recently presented at the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) 2022 Annual Conference in Long Beach, CA. The presentation Reimagining Integrated Planning Through Inclusion and Transformation focused on how institutions must adapt to the rapidly changing higher education landscape. The session emphasized the roles of integrated planning and institutional effectiveness as tools for facilitating change and capitalizing on opportunities for institutional transformation; how a strategic value proposition can differentiate an institution and build capacity for inclusion and equitable student outcomes; and incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion into planning through SMARTIE (strategic, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely, inclusive, and equitable) goals.
