Through Performance Planning

Everyone in our community is urged to propose an idea that activates our collective vision and explores new possibilities that can help realize an even brighter future our University.  

If you have an idea -- whether it be transformational or a small improvement -- I encourage you to submit a proposal. 

Here is how to make it happen:

Come up with an idea.

Collaborate and turn it in.​ 

Present your idea.

Get approved  ​& get funded!
