Timeline

The Strategic Planning Group began work in May 2023 to develop and implement a process that includes developing parameters for all phases of their work and outlining a series of listening sessions that will take place throughout the Fall 2023 semester for faculty, staff, students and other members of the Baylor Family. From the input gained in the fall, the group will develop a strategic plan that will guide the work of the University in the years ahead.

The Strategic Planning Group is charged to deliver the University Strategic Plan for consideration by President Livingstone and ultimately for approval by the Baylor Board of Regents in May 2024.

May-July 2023 

Establish a framework for developing the next University Strategic Plan and set dates for listening sessions that will be hosted between August and November. Sessions will solicit input from groups in our colleges, schools and divisions and among the University community at large.

August-November 2023

Lead and participate in listening and input sessions across the University community. Author, speaker, strategist and consultant Tod Bolsinger, Ph.D., will assist with analysis of the large reams of qualitative data and compile themes and sentiments shared in the input phase. The Strategic Planning Group will use these themes and sentiments for further discernment.
