Unit Planning

We have created an implementation guide intended to be a resource as you complete your strategic plan to 2025. There are additional resources available to assist Units with their plans as they implement and refine them available on the Planning Resources page. We welcome feedback on these resources regarding their utility in the development and implementation of Unit plans. To provide feedback, please email strategicplan@psu.edu.

Assistance with developing these processes and resources was provided by the Unit Planning Advisory Group, a task force comprised of members from a cross section of the following colleges, campuses, and administrative units.

Some additional resources that can help units demonstrate how their plan supports the university strategic plan foundations:

After units submitted their plans, they were entered into Nuventive, the system we use at Penn State for strategic planning. Access to this system is being granted to Unit planning personnel after the final plan revisions are uploaded. OPAIR is providing initial trainings to familiarize Units with the system and tailor it to individual needs. Additional training resources for the system can be found on the OPAIR website at https://opair.psu.edu/nuventive-planning/. Users can login to the system using their PSU credentials at https://solutions.nuventive.com/.

Feedback and questions can be submitted to strategicplan@psu.edu, or by calling the Office of Planning, Assessment, and Institutional Research at (814) 863-8721.

Unit plans across Penn State are listed below. Some final plans will be added soon. More detail within each unit plan will be posted as units proceed with implementation, and plans will continue to be developed.

Annual reporting will be due on February 28th each year, information about this process can be found in the Annual Report Process Guide.
