The faculty of the Wilmington University College of Social and Behavioral Sciences was on a roll at our annual retreat yesterday, with a strategic planning session and a little fun with the WilmU Women’s Bowling Team. They provided some great pointers on how to stay out of the gutter and hit pins every time. 🎳

🎯 Setting the Pins: Reaffirming Our Purpose

We began our planning session by revisiting who we are, what we do, and our impact. Through thoughtful discussion, we updated our mission statement that clearly reflects who we are as a college.

⭐ Striking the Highlights: Celebrating Our Impact

Before looking ahead, we took time to recognize the accomplishments and successes of the past year. These highlights provided an opportunity to celebrate the college’s collective impact and identify the practices and programs that are moving us forward.

🎳 Lining Up the Next Frame: Planning for the Year Ahead

With our mission serving as our guide, we identified key priorities, initiatives, and goals for the coming year. Like a well-planned bowling shot, our focus was on aligning our efforts, maintaining our momentum, and being intentional about where we aim.

💥 Going for the Strike: Turning Strategy Into Action

Our planning conversations moved beyond ideas to action. We identified the steps, responsibilities, and partnerships needed to achieve our goals.

🔋 On a Roll: Renewing Our Energy

We concluded our planning session by stepping away from the strategy table and onto the lanes. The bowling experience served as more than a team-building activity. It gave us an opportunity to renew our energy, celebrate our collective work, and reconnect with one another as we prepare for another year of shared goals and accomplishments.

We are looking forward to a great year!
