Steering Committees

The steering committee’s role is to oversee and guide the strategic planning process.  It will set the mission and vision and identify several major goals for the 2008—2013 plan. The steering committee will have deep interaction with the Pillar group committees (Pillar co-chairs sit on the steering committee) and charge them to formulate strategies and priorities to support the major strategic goals.  The Pillar groups will complete their reports by early May for review by the steering committee, which will then consolidate the inputs and form a final strategic plan in September, 2008.

The steering committee membership includes faculty members, staff, students, and alumni from the College of Science, as well as key representatives from the President’s office, Discovery Park, the College of Engineering, and Purdue Research Park.
