Science Data Digest
To achieve the College of Science vision of worldwide recognition in the areas of discovery, learning, and engagement, we have identified a series of goals with targeted strategies. Linking these strategies are overarching principles that are essential to all College activities:
Faculty excellence — Faculty of the highest academic and professional stature and achievement are a foundation for all College endeavors.
Excellence in discovery — Preeminent research programs are central to our mission in discovery, and they underlie College efforts in learning and engagement.
Excellence in learning — Forefront curricula for Science majors, as well as courses providing extensive core and foundational knowledge for students from other disciplines, are crucial elements of University learning programs.
Diversity — A diverse population of students, faculty, and staff enriches a community in which all members strive for excellence.
Staff excellence — A highly qualified staff is necessary for success in all College missions.
State-of-the-art facilities — Excellent facilities and staff are key enablers for discovery and learning in the sciences.
Resources — Funding from government, corporate, and private sources will be aggressively pursued in support
In these web pages, we list some of the key metrics that we will use for assessment. These metrics include measures of achievement of the strategies as well as measures of progress toward the associated goals.
