Colleagues,
The Idaho State University Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) collaboratively drafted the initial framework for mission, vision, and values of our new strategic plan. Once finalized, this framework will be used to guide the development of Idaho State’s goals and objectives throughout the remainder of our strategic planning process, and will become a roadmap for our future.
Proposed Mission
We connect students with transformative educational opportunities that improve the intellectual, cultural, and public health of our communities.
Proposed Vision
Idaho State University will ignite a passion for knowledge and discovery to create a better future for our students and the world.
Proposed Values
Integrity: honesty in our actions and words
Community: fostering connections
Inclusivity: building a culture of value and belonging for all
Teamwork: collaborating through compassion and kindness
Shared Responsibility: all contributing to our success
Growth: making lives better
Because this process will drive strategic priorities and decisions moving forward, it is important that everyone in our campus community has an opportunity to provide feedback during this process. Please provide your feedback using the Feedback Collection Form by 5 p.m. on Thursday, January 13.
While this form solicits input for all aspects of mission, vision, and values, the SPC is particularly interested in your thoughts and ideas in two areas. The SPC struggled to achieve consensus with the term transformative in the mission statement and the definition for inclusive as part of the values. The SPC agreed that the campus’ feedback would be a tremendous help in terms of addressing these in addition to the general feedback received.
NOTE: ISU has not previously defined organizational values. This list was created based on the campus-wide values survey conducted during the SWOT phase in March 2020.
