By: Dr. Cali Morrison. The old adage goes, April showers bring May flowers. Spring brings thoughts of renewal in so many ways. As academics, May typically signals the end of an academic year. As learners there is new hope in credentials earned and a future to pursue.

BY MATTHEW TRENT TRAINUM, ED.D. When is the right time to undergo a new strategic planning process? In the past, this was a (deceptively) straightforward question, even if it didn't always feel that way.

A global pandemic upended campus work and uprooted long-held conventions, leading to instantaneous survival planning across the country.
