In Spring 2024, the Strategic Plan Committee is focused on listening to university stakeholders to receive feedback and suggestions for goals and strategies to be considered for plan development.

In order to develop a clearer understanding of the current environment in which MTSU operates, the Committee distributed a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) survey. More than 750 faculty, staff, students, alumni, and members of the MTSU Board of Trustees responded to the survey, and many constituents also participated in a series of SWOT-focused listening sessions:

  • February 12, 2024 – Deans and Department Chairs
  • February 15, 2024 – Faculty, Staff, and Administrators
  • February 16, 2024 – Faculty, Staff, and Administrators
  • February 21, 2024 – Faculty, Staff, and Administrators

In March and April 2024, the Committee is conducting second series of listening sessions to solicit feedback on the emerging themes that were discovered through analysis of the SWOT survey and initial listening sessions:

  • March 19, 2024 – MTSU Board of Trustees
  • March 25, 2024 – Vice Provosts
  • April 1, 2024 – Department Chairs
  • April 2, 2024 – Vice Presidents
