Introduction
The Strategic Indicators series is a companion to Penn State’s University-level strategic plan. To measure progress toward goals and to answer the question, "How well are we doing?" Penn State has since 1999 tracked and published strategic performance indicators.
Penn State has progressed through several strategic planning cycles since 1999 and the University has revised the set of strategic performance indicators to reflect the goals and strategies of each strategic plan. While some indicators remain consistent from cycle to cycle, some indicators are removed and other, new indicators are defined.
With the release of Priorities for Excellence: The Penn State Strategic Plan 2009-10 through 2013-14, Penn State has identified a set of strategic performance indicators to reflect the goals and strategies described in that plan. Those strategic performance indicators are listed in the "Strategy Implementation Matrix" that accompanies the strategic plan. See "Implementing the Plan and Measuring Progress" for a description of how strategic performance indicators are used in the planning process at Penn State.
Strategic Indicators: Measuring and Improving University Performance is a publication produced by the Office of Planning and Institutional Assessment. The Strategic Indicators publication presents data on the strategic performance indicators. The most recent editions of the Strategic Indicators publication are available below. Data reflecting the strategic performance indicators for the Priorities for Excellence plan will be published here as they become available.
