In May 2012, Dean Huw Thomas appointed a Strategic Planning Steering Committee (SPSC) to embark on a new strategic planning process at the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (TUSDM). Building on the School’s distinctive character and historic strengths, he charged the Committee with creating a bold and dynamic strategic plan, 2020 Vision!, to advance the School to new levels of success. The SPSC, chaired by Dr. Roya Zandparsa, is committed to a communicative, consensus-building process.

Over the past several months, the SPSC has gathered a substantial amount of input about the strategic plan through interviews, focus groups, and an online survey. Using this feedback, the SPSC has revised earlier drafts of TUSDM mission, vision, values, and strategic priorities. The SPSC is eager to receive your input on these new draft statements!

The following items will require between 10 to 15 minutes of your time. Individual responses are anonymous, but aggregate data will be reported to the SPSC verbatim. Once you have completed the survey, the site will not allow you to re-enter. Should you encounter problems when taking the survey, please contact Dr. Karl Haden, Academy for Academic Leadership, at khaden@academicleaders.org or 404-350-2098.

Thank you for your responses and comments!
