Student Life Strategic Plan

Student Life Strategic Plan: 2025–2030

The Office of Student Life Strategic Plan will provide a staff, student, and faculty-informed list of recommendations to serve as the roadmap for how we will achieve the goals outlined in the IUB 2030 Strategic Plan.

Throughout the 2024-25 school year, we will develop an Office of Student Life Strategic Plan that will help us actualize our mission, vision, and values and guide us to achieve our goals for the next five years.

The plan will be data-informed, not data-driven, and will take into consideration the voices of students we serve, Student Life staff, and faculty. This plan will be a guiding document that will be collaboratively constructed. It will not simply sit on a shelf, and it is not a pre-determined list of things.

Monthly updates

Two Crimson Conversations were held for Student Life staff where staff feedback was collected and questions were answered. The feedback we gathered through small group work will help further guide the process.

Our Strategic Planning Committee convened and introduced sub-committees. The sub-committees began developing questions, outlining data and the role data will play in this process, and identifying role descriptors.
