Mission and Strategic Plan

College of Ag - Strategic Plan 2008-2009

Starting in the 2007-2008 Academic Year, the College of Ag started a major effort to update its Strategic Plan.  Through a series of all-college retreats, working committees and extensive review sessions the College will complete its first draft of a new plan during Fall Quarter 2008.

The new Vision and Mission statements are:

CPP College of Ag Vision Statement ---

Embracing our Kellogg legacy, philosophy of learn by doing and community engagement as a foundation for excellence in understanding and disseminating knowledge of the natural and human systems that underlie the agricultural sciences and their applications.

CPP College of Ag Mission Statement ---

To pursue an integrated approach to the discovery, dissemination and application of scientific, technological and business knowledge that embraces food and fiber production, distribution and consumption. To create future leaders in the agricultural and related industries through innovative approaches to learning and student support. To expand relationships with off campus communities that will enhance academic programs and support industry development. Our quest will advance the quality of life for Californians through emphases on the urban context, contemporary lifestyles, animal and human health, product safety, social and environmental responsibility.

Major goals of this Strategic Planning effort were to develop more extensive plans for the areas of:

                • research/graduate programs
                • physical assets/laboratories/farm land
                • shared governance
                • college core course requirements/assessment
                • vision and mission statement

Special committees with college-wide representation from faculty and staff were formed to develop draft statements for these areas. 

All faculty and staff in the college have been invited to participate in any meetings of interest to them.

All working documents from every meeting have been openly available on the College of AG Blackboard Organization.  Faculty and staff have been invited to comment even if they are not available to come to committee meetings.

Faculty and staff participants in each of the committees include:

  • Research/graduate programs – Doug Lewis, David Still, Broc Sandelin, Ann Marie Craig, Bonny Burns-Whitmore, Jon Phillips, Lisa Kessler 
  • Physical assets/laboratories/ farm land – Dan Hostetler, Bill Hughes, Ed Fonda, Peter Kilduff, Rhonda Ostrowski, Sharon Roth, Penne Fode, Robert Bray
