a participatory and comprehensive strategic planning effort.

outcomes, along with other materials related to university and campus
strategic goals and priorities..

Vision
Washington State University Spokane will be:
- The urban land-grant campus serving metropolitan Spokane, the Inland
Northwest, the state, the region, and the world
- The leader of Spokane's research agenda and the defining element of
success in Spokane's growth as a research-friendly community
developing successfully in the knowledge economy
- The cornerstone of community collaboration, working to enhance
quality of life through an intentional and sustained effort to create,
interpret, apply, and disseminate knowledge, thereby serving as a
model for a world-class urban campus in a regional city
- A caring, supportive learning community where the principles of
equality are modeled and promoted and where all the elements needed
for student and employee success are provided
- An institution dedicated to scholarship and personal growth that
takes the lead in utilizing flexible and creative approaches to meet
needs for lifelong learning with research-based teaching
- The doorway to the educational, scientific, economic, and cultural
stimulation that accrues from a major public land-grant research
institution
Within our small campus community, these shared values and this shared
vision are deeply held. They are a commitment we make to each other, to
the community, to the University, and to our future students and
colleagues.
Strategic Goals
- Academic Programs: Expand and enhance academic programs
within a thoughtful, systematic approach to program development and
delivery.
- Research: Lead the development of Spokane's research
community.
- Student and Learning Experience: Offer the best possible
learning experience for all campus constituencies: students, faculty,
staff, alumni, donors, and others.
- Community Engagement: Focus, coordinate, integrate, and
capitalize upon community linkages to serve the region and enrich the
campus.
- Learning Environment: Sustain and enhance a stimulating
physical and intellectual learning environment that meets the needs of
our campus community and enhances our urban context.
- Identity: Communicate a consistent, distinctive campus
identity based on mission and strengths.
- Academic and Information Services Infrastructure: Ensure
effective educational and institutional information infrastructure to
support students, staff, and faculty in the delivery of expanded
academic offerings, research, and service and administrative support
functions.
- Recognition of Faculty, Staff, Students, and Stakeholders:
Strengthen the campus as a celebrative, open, purposeful, caring,
inclusive, just, creative, and disciplined learning community that
invests in all members of the community and recognizes the value of
contributions from both internal and external stakeholders.
