As part of its journey to become a Destination Learning Environment, Central State University will focus on four key strategies for the upcoming academic year, based on feedback from Presidential listening sessions and the Cultural Contextual Elements (CCE) survey:
Strengthening communication and collaboration among students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners to foster a unified community.
Providing the tools, training, and support for faculty and staff to thrive and contribute to the University’s success.
Placing students' academic achievement, personal growth, and well-being at the forefront of all decisions and resources to ensure holistic success during and beyond their time at Central State.
Efficiently managing University assets, facilities, and personnel to enhance educational outcomes and operational effectiveness.
These strategies reflect our commitment to making Central State University a premier learning destination, with regular progress updates shared at Board of Trustees meetings and throughout the campus community.
