Strategic Plan

In Fall 2021, the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences Executive Committee kicked off an iterative process to refresh our strategic plan. The committee formed three working groups: education, research, and diversity, and each group conducted a strategic scan for their designated area. The teams brainstormed, collected and analyzed data, spoke to faculty and staff throughout the college, refined assumptions and eventually developed strategic action plans for the next 3-5 years. These findings and plans were presented and discussed with the Executive Committee as well as all faculty, staff and our external advisory board. Feedback was incorporated into a draft strategic plan that was again shared and refined before finalizing.

The newly reimagined plan for the college highlights our commitment as computer and information scientists and educators to academic excellence, diversity and inclusion, and innovation. We invite you to read our plan and explore how we intend to realize these ambitions over the next five years.
