Five Year Plan

Our Five Year Plan

This ASWSUTC Five Year Plan guides our advocacy efforts and decisions with five main objectives: (1) Improve Advocacy Efforts, (2) Have a Role in University Decisions, (3) Be Taken More Serious, (4) Increase Student Involvement, and (5) Make Our Work Meaningful. Together, these five objectives form ASWSUTC’s Mission. Goals and promises are listed within each objective that shows how we will perform and measure each objective. Although the objectives will not change annually, goals and promises may change between each ASWSUTC team. Our Five Year Plan was first drafted during the 2018 ASWSUTC Summer Retreat. During this time, all officers of ASWSUTC worked together to provide input and agree upon common objectives and goals. We believe that including everyone’s thoughts and opinions in the organization’s plan creates an atmosphere for collaboration and openness to new ideas.
