Springboard designed an engagement process that brought a wide range of voices into the development of the University's strategy. We conducted interviews and public forums involving more than 150 stakeholders across 12 different groups, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, community leaders, and University governance leaders.

Rather than simply collecting input, Springboard synthesized what we heard across those groups to identify important themes, areas of alignment, and perspectives that needed to inform the University's future direction. That work became an important foundation for the strategic planning process.

Over an eight-month period, Springboard facilitated six planning committee sessions to help translate stakeholder input into strategic direction. We also facilitated town halls to bring the emerging strategy back to the University community, creating additional opportunities for engagement and helping build understanding and support for the plan.

Throughout the process, Springboard served as an independent facilitator and thought partner, helping University leaders hear different perspectives objectively while maintaining momentum toward decisions and a clear institutional direction.
