Session 8 was held on Friday, September 12, 2008 from 11:30-2:00 pm. Approximately 130 individuals, including faculty, staff and students, participated in this session. The results of two core activities are provided on this page.

The Landscape activity involved discussion of six topics by participants:

  • Funding in Higher Education
  • Enrollment Management
  • The Value of a BGSU Degree
  • Capital Planning – Facilities and Infrastructure
  • Leveraging Technology
  • Balancing Faculty Roles

Each discussion included brainstorming of things about the topic that made the group glad (“glads”), sad (“sads”) and mad (“mads”). Once the glads, sads and mads were posted, all participants were able to vote on the ideas resulting in topics that had wide support by the entire group. Landscape Results

The Enriching the BGSU Strategy activity involved identification of recommended adds, changes and deletes to the overarching elements of the starting point of the strategic plan: vision, mission, core values and goals. Like the Landscape, enhancements recommended by the tables were voted on by all participants and those with wide support were noted. Enriching results

During the session, a brief evaluation was completed by each participant. Participants were asked how confident they were that the session would have an impact on BGSU’s future, where 1=not confident and 10=”watch our dust”. With 87 responses completed, the average response for Session 8 was 6.2, with 66% of responses of 6 or greater.

Comments on the posts are welcomed, both by individuals who participated in Session 8 and want to provide additional insight, and by those who were not able to attend and have thoughts to share.
