Strategic direction Process will provide focus for university to meet expectations of the Huntsville and Redstone communities
President Altenkirch is leading the campus on developing a new strategic plan that will bring clear, concise goals to the university, in addition to the tactics that will allow The University of Alabama in Huntsville to reach the lofty expectations necessary for the campus to continue progress long into the future. Dr. Altenkirch said UAHuntsville has in the past embarked on a strategic planning effort, and various individual unit plans exist as well. However, he noted it is important periodically to review plans and update them. “Toward that end, we began a process a year ago to bring together individuals from across the campus and the Huntsville community to develop a broad, inclusive plan for the future,” he said. The plan will be unveiled at UAHuntsville’s institutional presentation to the University of Alabama Board of Trustee’s meeting in April. 6
