Guiding Principles

6As Mines develops its next strategic plan, we are committed to these critical guiding principles:Mines will remain a small, specialized engineering and science research university.

Emphasis on quality and excellence must be paramount in the education, research and services that we deliver. (“We are proud of everything we do.”)

The future distinction of the institution requires building multiple best-in-class programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

Mines must operate with the entrepreneurial mindset of a private institution that promotes innovation in programs and cost efficiency in operations.

A diverse community with a sense of shared purpose toward serving our mission and our stakeholders.

Curricular delivery that is student-centered and leverages strengths of highly innovative faculty and best-in-class technology

practices.Slide7

Aspirations

Recognized as a top 30 engineering and science university. 4-year graduation rate of 60% and 6-year rate of 82% while still maintaining Mines’ hallmark commitment to quality, rigor and excellence.Surpass $100M in research expenditures.Mines will continue to be financially

self-sustaining.

95

% of graduates (undergraduate and graduate) would have chosen Mines again if they could re-do their decision.

Goal 1: Enhance the distinctive identity and reputation of

MinesStrategiesDevelop and implement integrated marketing plan that expands our brand recognition and reputation throughout the world.Increase collaborations with other top quality institutions worldwide.

Expand active-learning instruction (such as studio and project-based, rather than traditional lecture format) utilizing best-in-class pedagogical and technological practices.

Improve and expand opportunities for participation in professional practice and research throughout the entire undergraduate experience.

Expand and enhance graduate student development of professional attributes through formalized activities and curricular excellence.

Create new and enhance existing large research initiatives focusing on the global challenges related to the earth, energy, and the environment.

Increase faculty membership in national academies and professional society fellows, and student participation in prestigious national awards and fellowships.

Goal 1: Enhance the distinctive identity and reputation of Mines

9Institutional Initiatives that support Goal I

Establish

“Center for Teaching

and Learning Excellence” that will assist faculty in the implementation of best-in-class pedagogical practices and

technologies.

Reconsider and restructure existing

activities.Examine threat and opportunities of new technologies.Re-develop website to comprehensively support strategic plan. Develop organizational structure to enhance website effectiveness and provide continuous updates of content.Identify and support new strategic research initiatives.Redefine management of overhead to support research mission.Support early career research development of young faculty.Produce a broadened research portfolio with investments in faculty time, equipment, and space deployment. Broaden campus based conference activity to include the full spectrum of research activity at Mines.Slide10

Goal 2: Build upon a student-centered campus culture of excellence, inclusion, diversity and community.

StrategiesExpand residential campus to integrate efforts from academic affairs and student life, for undergraduate and graduate students, to promote student community and to foster collaboration, learning, leadership

and citizenship

.

Advance academic culture and structure that fosters

creativity, intellectual-curiosity, and student

success.

Enhance opportunities for students to develop effective communication skills as a complement to strong content expertise.Build a campus that values employees and students of the institution through a positive, supportive, and inclusive environment.Increase the diversity and quality of Mines’ faculty, student and staff.Improve mentoring and other support of faculty with the goal to enhance the overall quality of the student experience.10Slide11

Goal 2: Build upon a student-centered campus culture of excellence, inclusion, diversity and community.

Institutional Initiatives that support Goal 2

Establish

new admissions profile objectives and strategies for achieving targets while managing affordability.

Admission directives must include special emphasis on improvements in gender and ethnic diversity.

Align degree requirements with national norms and ensure that the overall degree structure reflects latest trends in the field and is delivered in an up- to-date manner with respect to pedagogy. Promote co-curricular activity as a part of the total degree experience. Provide avenues for research experience and entrepreneurship within the structure of the degrees and campus life.

Actively engage the faculty in defining and supporting the expectations for contributions to the campus.

Implement new strategies to further develop the residential campus and its positive impact on students.11Slide12

Goal 3: Build and diversify revenue streams and auxiliary enterprises.

15Slide16

Campus participation in the execution of the strategic plan

Institutional initiatives: Large efforts that impact a significant part of the campus and that are led by members of the campus executive staff. Typically these efforts require resources.Typically many parts of the campus are engaged in these activities.Initiatives will define measures of success as a function of time.Local initiatives: Efforts that are defined by organizational units, supported by upper management and executed by a relatively small portion of the campus. Typically initiatives are logical responses to the strategic plan that are defined by the organizational unit.

Activity requires the buy-in of management and support of management.

Key issue is to have local initiatives complement overall activity in the strategic plan.

Initiatives will define measures of success as a function of

time.

16Slide17

Next Steps

Presented to Board on December 12, 2013Develop financial modeling as a baseline for strategic plan.Consideration of enrollment, faculty, grad to undergrad mix, resident to non-resident mix, tuition strategy.Develop operational initiatives: institutional, college-level, supporting department.Prioritize initiatives based on financial availability. First year prioritization is underway.

Establish Board level metrics and underlying management and operational metrics.

Establish targets for the metrics.

Develop calendar of activities (goal is to make this an active and iterative process).

Communicate strategic plan goals and initiatives with key stakeholders.
