The Valparaiso Athletics five-year Strategic Plan, updated for the 2013-14 academic year, is now available for the public by viewing the attached PDF.

The Strategic Plan identifies six categories of Goals followed by a series of recommended Strategies and specific Action Steps that should be undertaken to achieve those goals. Strategies and Action Steps to be implemented within the first twenty-four months of the Plan are listed herein along with more long term Strategies and Action Steps (highlighted in italics) that are recommended for implementation in years three through five of the Plan.

The initial Athletics Strategic Plan was created through a comprehensive process involving all areas of the Athletics Department. Feedback and comment was solicited from all areas of University community. The original plan was endorsed by the University Board of Directors in October 2012.

The Athletics Strategic Plan 2013-2018 is the updated and revised version of the original plan created in 2012. Completed action steps were removed and new action steps added. The revision process was conducted by a broad group of Athletics Department staff directly involved in the implementation and management of the plan.
