In spring 2013, the Kentucky State University Division of Student Success and Enrollment Management (SSEM) began its strategic planning process with a two-day leadership retreat in that resulted in a planning document that will help guide the division's efforts for 2013-2018. With the University's strategic plan as the overarching guide, SSEM is positioned to develop a strategic plan that advances the division's mission and priorities within the context of the University-wide plan.
The strategic plan is a policy guide that articulates the division's path for the future. It captures the image of the division and identifies specific goals, objectives and strategies related to recruitment and retention to preserve those aspects worthy of protection and promote change where it is desired. The division's strategic plan is informed by the Kentucky State University Strategic Plan which has articulated our values.
Under this plan, specific goals, objectives and key metrics were established.
