New Strategic Planning Process

students walking on campus

Stockton will embark on a new strategic planning process to help chart the course for our University’s success in the coming years.

The planning journey will be a collaborative effort, drawing upon the collective expertise and aspirations of all members of the Stockton community.

The process will integrate essential elements of President Joe’s commitment to the Stockton community:

  • Transparency
  • Collaboration
  • Relationship-focused

Your ideas, perspectives, and insights will be invaluable as we take this journey together.

  2. Complete a survey

    Complete a quick survey to help us gather ideas about Stockton’s future and how we might prepare for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead (survey open through Wednesday, May 15th).

    Participating in this survey is voluntary and confidential. Although access to the survey is granted by entering your portal username and password, this process only verifies your eligibility and ensures duplicate surveys can’t be completed by the same individual.  Login information: (1) will not be coupled to responses in any way; and (2) will be expunged at the end of the survey period.
