The Student Success Council is recognized for facilitating this work.

24. Preliminary commendations (cont.)
For planning to revitalize classrooms to serve today's learners. A notable result is The Spark, a state-of-the-art facility, which enables faculty to use innovative technology to help motivate students to engage deeply in learning.
For focusing research on the Grand Challenges of sustaining health, sustainable resources, opportunity and equity, smart systems, and national security, using interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to serve society.

25. WSU also has received preliminary recommendations
That Washington State University's comprehensive planning process is informed by the collection of appropriately defined data, which can be disaggregated to identify differences among campuses, learning modalities, and other subdivisions of this large and complex institution.

26. Preliminary recommendations (cont.)
That Washington State University' s planning includes fully comprehensive emergency preparedness and contingency planning for continuity and recovery of operations at all campuses.
That results of core theme assessments and results of assessments of programs and services are more consistently used for improvement, by informing planning, decision making, and allocation of resources and capacity.
Final outcomes and report coming this summer

27. Drive to 25 shared vision
Washington State University will be recognized as one of the nation’s top 25 public research universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement by 2030.
The Drive to 25 builds on the cornerstones of our institutional Strategic Plan and its two pivotal goals:
WSU will offer a transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students
WSU will accelerate the development of a preeminent research portfolio

28. Thank you!
The successful pursuit of Washington State University’s mission requires the efforts of our entire community.
