The goals listed below stem from and respond to three conditions:

1) Focus areas as identified by the academic departments within the Liberal Arts Division. The following themes emerged from departmental plans: programmatic equipment and classroom facilities; curricular evolution and development; support for internships and field placement; support aimed at increasing student success.

2) Larger college-wide or SUNY-wide initiatives. The following larger initiatives are and will continue to impact activities within the Liberal Arts Division: implementation of and execution of ideas generated through SOEx work (e.g. operationalizing use of program maps, strategic scheduling, advising within Communities, etc.); forthcoming SUNY-wide General Education reform or changes; forthcoming Middle States self-study (which requires proof of ongoing assessment). 

3) An AVP-driven concern regarding our readiness and responsiveness to prepare students for emerging careers related to sustainability.
