Improve Overview
In 2008, President William R. Harvey issued the following charge:
“Develop a comprehensive plan for the implementation of a sustainable institutional effectiveness system using an on-going program of assessment for all academic and non-academic areas.”
It is noted that such a system must incorporate means for assessing continuous improvements within and across all areas and incorporate the University’s current and future Integrated Strategic Planning process.
Today as Hampton University moves forward in carrying out the charge from President Harvey, the University will:
- Engage in a new strategic planning process resulting in the production and implementation of the next 10 year Strategic Plan.
- The new strategic plan will be incorporated into the TracDat system and all annual reports will be submitted and assessed through TracDat.
