Charge:

The CPP is responsible for making recommendations concerning strategic policies and programs in light of the College’s mission, values, and aspirations. In particular, CPP should focus on sustaining an open, inclusive, and accountable planning process that promotes a learning-centered residential campus, the teacher-scholar model, interdisciplinarity, diversity, international perspectives, and the integration of technology and information management, a sense of shared community, and significant connections to and support from our external publics.

In addition to its governance functions, CPP also is responsible for ensuring that the College maintains an integrated and comprehensive strategic planning document that is reviewed and updated annually through reports and recommendations from the Planning Officers and Planning Councils (or designated standing committees). CPP is responsible for raising questions about the various planning documents, exploring connections between them, and making recommendations concerning them to the President. CPP may ask specific Planning Councils to study particular issues as part of the comprehensive planning process. CPP serves as the Planning Council in the strategic area of Leadership, Planning, and Decision-Making.
