CAS Unit Planning

CAS Unit Planning

Unit Planning occurs in every unit down to the department level at FGCU. Each unit is asked to set goals and align them with the University Strategic Plan. These documents guide the College of Arts and Science’s planning and decision-making processes. CAS uses the information from the CAS Annual Charrettes and other CAS Family events to build community, develop unit plans and fulfill a shared vision for the college.

In the Spring of 2025 the College launched its 4th Annual Charrette that centered around looking back at last year’s unit plans as a college, thinking about this year’s planning goals as units and considered the results of the Great Colleges to Work For Survey data specific to CAS. A full report was generated over the past summer.
