Evolving to Meet 21st Century Needs
From a note to the college:
"As life changes, so too does Cornell CALS. Evolution and adaptation aren’t just concepts we teach, but embrace. For more than a century, we have met the world’s changing needs with evolving strategic directions and priorities.
In 2013, I asked a group of administrators, faculty, staff and students to develop a new strategic plan for the college. One that supports our distinction as an institution of academic excellence, pioneering discovery and innovative outreach, while being mindful of the need for the college to evolve to meet the needs of today's students, scientists, and communities.
The latest strategic plan, Knowledge with Public Purpose in a Changing World, is a result of nearly a year of thoughtful and productive discussion. Our implementation of this new strategic plan has been ambitious, transparent and measured. Because of its range and magnitude, execution of the plan has been a multi-year effort, annually identifying priority objectives, developing implementation strategies and planning detailed actions to achieve our goals.
I invite you to read the full plan as well as the priorities one-pager. On behalf of the CALS leadership team, I thank the entire Cornell CALS community for bringing these aspirations to bear."
