The 2023 Strategic Planning Steering Committee comprises a diverse assortment of interdisciplinary professionals and campus leaders charged with working collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to support the creation of the University’s next Strategic Plan.
The committee will adopt the Baldrige Framework for Performance Excellence (BFPE) to develop and implement a campus-wide plan. BPFE methodologies provide systematic assessment tools for measuring the extent to which EIU defines key processes and how well these processes are managed throughout the university. BFPE focuses on four factors, shortened as ADLI: Approach, Deployment, Learning, and Integration.
Benchmark assessments will occur where Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) already exist, and ADLI methodologies will inform the creation of purposeful KPIs for new initiatives or enhancements to existing practices. This approach will create meaningful process roadmaps for EIU stakeholders across the institution.
To submit strategic planning feedback to the task force, email suggestions or ideas to strategicplanning@eiu.edu. Your submission will be reviewed and included as part of the University’s qualitative data set.

INTRODUCTION
Why are you proud to represent EIU?
I could not be more excited to represent EIU and showcase its fantastic attributes. No matter who you are or where you come from, EIU gives students the opportunity to develop skills and be successful their field. EIU and the surrounding communities support students and make you feel right at home.
What advice do you have for prospective students considering Eastern Illinois University?
Make sure to visit campus and ask questions - but don’t stop there! Attend an EIU event. Whether it is a concert, musical, cultural, or a sporting event, getting a feel for the student body is important. One thing I can tell you about Eastern is that we are a family here and the faculty and staff certainly make you feel that way. If you are looking for a great education and to make lifelong memories, look no further than EIU!
