New Strategic Planning Process

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.
