2020 Strategic Plan Even as FNU entered into the final year of its 2015-2019 strategic plan, work on the next plan was already beginning. The process began at the FNU Board of Directors retreat in April 2019. The board brainstormed ideas for what, at that time, was intended to be another five-year plan. From the retreat came a list of broad-based themes and ideas which were then presented to focus groups consisting of FNU faculty and staff. The focus groups, which were created by the President’s Cabinet, met during the summer of 2019 to build upon the
themes identified at the Board of Directors retreat. Minutes from those summer meetings were then used to help create the initial draft of strategic goals. The next step in the process was to survey FNU staff, faculty, and student council representatives to gain additional feedback and suggestions regarding the proposed strategic plan goals. As part of this process, the community also voted to change the strategic plan from five years to three, allowing FNU to have more flexibility to adjust to changing times and needs rather than being locked into
