You are Invited to Review the Vision2010 Strategic Plan Draft
We invite you to review the Vision2010 strategic plan draft. More than 300 faculty, students, staff, alumni and community supporters participated in two rounds of work sessions during October and November 2003. In the sessions, participants joined together to review a draft vision for CNU and a set of related university priorities. These valuable contributions will shape the future of CNU leading to 2010. 

We need your input! Please complete your online response by March 12. Your participation has been and continues to be important to the success of Vision2010. If you have questions, please contact Linda Gordon at 594-7951.
