State University

Where WE are
Leadership currently functions in silos
Need for expanded services and operations on a

shrinking budget

State University

Where WE need to be
Solidify the senior leadership to move the university

forward

bridge the gap from the loss of state funds

graduate) to increase tuition and reach nontraditional, commuting students
