These are outcome statements that define what SSU is trying to accomplish both strategically and organizationally. Goals can relate to both strategic issues (those related to the organization’s ability to deliver on the strategic plan priorities) as well as operational issues (those related to with improving the organization’s ability to operate effectively over both the short and long term).
Milestones
Milestones are useful for large, multi-year goals that have numerous components. For instance, a milestone for the Graduation Initiative 2025 is that on an annual basis we would measure to ensure that SSU is on track to achieve the graduation, retention, and graduation gap goals for 2025 set by the Chancellor’s Office.
