2020-2022

San José State is leading with its values, realizing its vision, and making decisions based on the strategic priorities developed by the hundreds of faculty, staff, and students who contributed to the development of Transformation 2030.


2019

In 2019, San José State developed an implementation strategy as one of the final phases of its strategic planning process.

A critical step was the formation of an implementation planning group, comprised of the president’s cabinet and select members of each campus division. The president’s leadership team reviewed and reported to the president on the work of the implementation planning group, including implementation and scheduled assessments, in early fall 2019.
