Recruit international graduate students Explore developing contractual arrangements with selected governments, particularly in Southeast Asia, so that the government provides the student a fellowship/scholarship, inclusive of tuition and fees, and SHS provides the education Current status: No arrangements Five-year goal: Through contacts of current faculty, pursue arrangements for fellowships/scholarships for 1 or 2 international students Resources: SHS faculty, contracted fellowship/scholarship MAINTAIN CAMPUS FACILITIES Maximize the effective use of space in the SHS Building; reclaim space for research and other purposes Current status: A space task force has made recommendations for better utilization of space for research laboratory purposes, as well as renovating space for research Five-year goal: During FY2006, a departmental space policy committee will recommend policies for using space in the SHS Building; policies will recommend principles and mechanisms for determining research spaces that are defined by function and used by multiple researchers, as well as individual research space; a primary function will be to establish state-of-the-art labs for some 12

13 functions shared by faculty and to foster interdisciplinary collaborations; the committee will continue to make recommendations regarding renovation of space for research and other purposes; Resources: SHS faculty and staff; SHS, ALS, and campus revenue, ALS, campus Upgrade the clinical facility to support state-of-the-service delivery models Current status: Facilities of the department s Speech-Language Pathology Clinic and the Audiology Clinic must be updated periodically; portions are currently being renovated Five-year goal: Renovate a portion of the facilities each year Resources: SHS, ALS Who s responsible: SHS, ALS GARNER AND MANAGE RESOURCES TO ACHIEVE STRATEGIC GOALS New or Increasing Resources Strategic undergraduate enrollment decisions (increase number of undergraduate majors and increase number of student from outside of the college in SHS courses) to increase revenues produced from increases in IUs An assumption is that the campus budgeting policy will continue to provide local income revenue for IUs taught, and that the college will continue to pass most of that revenue on the departments Reach out to alumni for enhanced fund raising An assumption is that the ALS Development Office will continue to work with departments to improve financial support from alumni Aggressive efforts to continue and increase external grant applications An assumption is that decreased teaching loads (a load of 3 courses a year compared to the previous 4 courses a year) will yield an increase in the mean number of external grant proposals submitted each year, and increased funding from external grants. Seek out corporate funding An assumption is that efforts on the part of the department in cooperation with the ALS Development office will increase the amount of funding from corporate sources. Seek out alternate external research sponsors An assumption is that efforts on the part of the department to identify and work with alternate research sponsors will increase the amount of funding from external research sponsors other than NIH Allocation of Resources Resources will be allocated to support the research enterprise of the department in the form of new tenure-track faculty hires, the renovation of research and clinical spaces in the SHS Building, and the support and recruitment of students. 13
