The School of Dentistry has initiated a process that will culminate in the creation of a new strategic plan by the Spring of 2004. The Committee charged by Dean Hupp to coordinate this process consists of Dr. Butch Gilbert as chair, and Drs. William T. Buchanan, Karen Crews, Gary Reeves, Frank Serio and Charlie Streckfus as the other members. The last four named individuals will lead subcommittees that will each focus upon certain aspects of the School’s missions and after considerable input from various constituencies eventually generate the general goals and specific objectives that will be the draft strategic plan for the School to consider. Dean Hupp has emphasized that the plan consist of objectives that are measurable, so once the plan is in play our progress can be monitored. Triangle Associates of St. Louis, Missouri, has been hired to help facilitate the process and will begin conducting telephone interviews in December and focus group discussions in January with various stakeholders. The information they collect will be used during a two-day strategic planning workshop to be held in March. The results of that workshop will be used to guide the production of the Strategic Plan-2004, the second 25 years.
