Task Force
The Strategic Plan Task Force was intentionally developed to represent the diversity of the university community. Each member of the faculty, staff, alumni and student body brings to the task force a unique perspective, talent, knowledge and skill. What unites them all is a passion for Indiana Tech.
The following membership assumptions inform the task force members’ work:
- Members believe we all share responsibilities and accountabilities for Indiana Tech’s current operations and future growth.
- Members are selected because of their individual skills, abilities and passion for Indiana Tech, not necessarily to represent a specific constituency.
- Members will be personally accountable and share a collegial responsibility to one another for the work of the SPTF.
- With effective strategic planning we will know where we’re going and how we will get there. The plan is our plan.
- We are committed to breaking down silos through collaboration and building toward a greater sense
of ownership of our shared priorities.
