Debra, Very good comments about a plan. It is a guide that has the involvement of many people such as faculty, staff, and maybe even employers and grads. It's a way to stay on track while taking opportunities that present themselves. It's a measurement so everyone can say "how am I doing" against the goals set forth. It gets everyone working together and at the same time encourages innovation and creativity. It sounds like a Plan is a must in both our professional and personal lives! Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
