Strategic Plan

The Herff College of Engineering is in the process of developing a new 5-year strategic plan with expected completion date of October 2023 and implementation date of Janurary 2024. The new plan will align with President Bill Hardgrave's plan, Ascend, the University's first plan as a Carnegie I institution that was unveiled spring 2023. 

Herff's Strategic Plan Committee will meet weekly and report to Dean Okenwa Okoli bi-weekly or as needed. Monthly status reports on milestones will be emailed to the college. At the end of the process, the committee will submit documentation that includes a mission statement, vision statement and strategic goals, as well as an implementation plan that includes metrics/targets and KPIs to measure progress towards goals.
