A: Please complete the column titled “Outcome Assessment” on your own Unit Strategic Plan. Complete with as much detail as
you can provide.
Strategic Plan for 2012 with Outcome Assessment is attached.
B. Please summarize each of the University’s Five Core Themes from your Unit Strategic Plan Outcome Assessment report.
University Core Theme I (Teaching and Learning) – The outcomes in this area are related to maintaining our programs. The outcome
assessment provides baseline data in enrollments and faculty scholarship. Faculty activity in scholarship is considered to be crucial
for quality instruction. Although our enrollment and scholarship appear strong, our department had to supplement the Goods and
Services budget with ≈$16,000 from our indirect returns from grants.
University Core Theme 2 (Inclusiveness and Diversity) – We do not currently have departmental outcomes in this area in our
Strategic Plan. We will expand into this theme once we have a better idea of the baseline data in the other themes.
University Core Theme 3 (Scholarship and Creative Expression) – Our outcome assessments in this area relate to resource needs for
scholarship, including graduate assistants, a Laboratory/Instrument Technician, and a new Science facility. The assessments indicate
that we are losing quality students to competing programs. We think that this is because we are very late in getting our offers out
Page 2
and the graduate stipends are very low. In addition, we now have evidence of our need for a Laboratory/Instrument Technician: at
least two of our instruments are not operational for more than 20% of the time that we are attempting to operate them. In addition,
faculty members have spent many hours repairing and maintaining instruments. The Science facility, Science Phase II, has been
funded. In our outcome assessment, we have baseline data on proposals for comparison to our productivity once we have occupied
the new building.
University Core Theme 4 (Public Service and Community Engagement) – We were not able to obtain any quantitative data to assess
our outcome in this area.
University Core Theme 5 (Resource Development and Stewardship) – The outcomes in this area relate to two resource needs: a
Laboratory/Instrument Technician and a new Science facility. The outcome assessment related to the Laboratory/Instrument
Technician is the same as that described in University Core Theme 3. Science Phase II has been funded and will be occupied in less
than three years.
Toward which theme(s) did you make progress, and how are students benefitting from this?
We made the most progress towards Themes 1, 3, and 5 because of the funding of Science Phase II. The students are not yet
benefitting from this but will once the building is occupied.
Which theme(s) deserve special attention next year?
Themes 1 and 4 deserve special attention next year. Related to Theme 1, Teaching and Learning, we would like to examine our
programs, particularly our B.A. in Geology, and improve them so that students are better prepared for the work force or graduate
school. In the area of Theme 4, Public Service and Community Engagement, we will work on supplementing the Science Phase II
FF&E budget so that the new building best serves our needs in terms of educational equipment and displays and classrooms.
C. How do you intend to utilize the data gathered this year to assist you in developing stronger programs?
We will use the enrollment data we have been given combined with our internal tracking of students to get a better picture of what
the longer term trends are in our majors. Based on these trends, we will continue to try to increase enrollment in our programs,
particularly in the B.A. Geology, as much as our classes and staffing will allow. Data on research productivity of faculty (peerPage 3
reviewed publications and abstracts) will serve as baseline data and ultimately will help define our expectations for productivity of
the department as a whole. Data related to our need for additional support staff will be gathered and presented to the
administration.
D. Based on your learning from this first year report, what parts of your strategic plan will you modify, add to, or omit for next
year?
Strategic Plan for 2013 with explanation letter is attached.

Strategic Plan for Geological Sciences
Attached is the Unit Strategic Plan for the Department of Geological Sciences. Included is an assessment
of the 2012 Strategic Plan and a modified 2013 Strategic Plan (with differences from the 2012 plan
shown in bold text). The 2013 Strategic Plan is similar to the 2012 plan with the following changes
(colors of budget/resource items are the same as in table):
1. No reduction of current resources, including faculty and staff positions – Same as 2012 Plan. We
were told that our plans could assume that the current resources are available. This strategic plan
includes a row that explicitly states this assumption.
2. Restore and increase department goods and service budget – Same as 2012 Plan, but amount was
changed to reflect what was spent this year on basic goods and services.
3. Lab/instrument technician dedicated to our department – Same as 2012 Plan.
4. New instructional technician dedicated to our department – A new outcome was added to
University Objective 5.3 (Human Resources) to reflect this need. The new support staff position would
serve two purposes: 1) to help our department transition to Science Phase II by archiving our collections,
helping to research and order teaching equipment and supplies, and preparing and moving teaching
equipment and collections; 2) to support our upper-level curriculum by maintaining teaching collections
and assisting with logistics for field trips.

5. Increased number of graduate assistantships and higher graduate student stipends – Same as 2012
Plan
6. Science Phase II FF&E budget – Now that Science Phase II has been funded by the state, our focus has
shifted from obtaining funding for Science Phase II to supplementing funding in order to increase the
FF&E budget. Because of the level of funding which was designated, it is likely that we will not have
adequate funds to obtain all of our desired equipment and educational displays. We plan to work with
the CWU Development Office and write external grants in order to supplement the state FF&E budget in
order to maximize the benefits of the new building.
7. Three more new outcomes were added: one to reflect efforts we are making to re-envision our B.A.
Geology degree; a second related to improving our General Education offerings; and a third to articulate
further strategies that we are using to increase opportunities for research. In addition, one outcome
(improve accessibility of faculty to students) was removed. This outcome has been addressed by the
funding of Science Phase II because faculty offices will be in the same building as the majority of our
classes.
8. A number of indicators and strategies have been added to the 2013 Plan.
