New Organizational Structure
The Senior Vice Chancellor for ASA shared the ASA vision and mission which included the new ASA organizational structure. A part of the new organizational structure relocated the Innovation and Collaboration Department to the Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for ASA.
This transition leverages innovation and collaboration across system office units and campuses to better align initiatives that connect to ASA’s key principles (Strategic Enrollment Management, Minnesota State Guided Learning Pathways, and Innovation and Evolution).
New Funding Title: Innovating and Collaborating Toward Equity 2030
The new organizational structure also provides for the opportunity to refocus our funding efforts in support of Equity 2030. Funding programs previously referred to as “innovation funding” and “multi-campus collaboration” have been rebranded to Innovating and Collaborating Toward Equity 2030.
The ASA Leadership Awards event on March 30, 2023 will include the introduction to the newly redesigned Innovating and Collaborating Toward Equity 2030 funding program and showcase exhibits of previously funded exceptional innovative and collaborative projects.
More details about the event will follow in early 2023.
