Developed over the course of several years, the plan is a living document that will guide our actions over the coming decade. Key milestones and planning activities are described below.


2024

On April 10, President Cynthia Teniente-Matson shared the recalibrated strategic plan goals, desired outcomes and metrics for determining success with the campus community. In accordance with policy [pdf], the recalibration process included consultation with the president’s cabinet and the Strategic Planning Steering Committee. Opportunities were provided for the campus community to provide input on the updates to the strategic plan.  


2023

A Campus Summit was held on Thursday, April 24. Based on feedback from our community, the Summit included several opportunities for community engagement with specific feedback loops and interactive activity.


2020-2022

San José State is leading with its values, realizing its vision, and making decisions based on the strategic priorities developed by the hundreds of faculty, staff, and students who contributed to the development of Transformation 2030.


2019

In 2019, San José State developed an implementation strategy as one of the final phases of its strategic planning process.

A critical step was the formation of an implementation planning group, comprised of the president’s cabinet and select members of each campus division. The president’s leadership team reviewed and reported to the president on the work of the implementation planning group, including implementation and scheduled assessments, in early fall 2019.
