10. The Pathway to Success Initiative 2: Realize the full potential of the Rural Health Innovation Collaborative • Audit Chair Comment • This initiative’s progress has been substantial and demonstrates the capacity for ISU to make a difference with respect to the economic development trajectory of the city.

11. The Pathway to Success Initiative 3: Develop the neighborhoods around ISU • Team Members: Kevin Runion (Chair), Facilities Management • Kevin Hoolehan (Chair), Foundation • Brian Hasler, Office of the President and Provost • Bryan Duncan, Facilities Management • Since 2005, the University has systematically been acquiring properties near campus in what have for a relatively long period of time been classified as ‘distressed.’ • With over 200 properties purchased and razed, the resulting open space, greenways are beginning to create an attractive neighborhood adjacent to campus that has fostered a sense of pride in the remaining property holders such that improvements to those structures are occurring.

12. The Pathway to Success Initiative 3: Develop the neighborhoods around ISU • The university’s ultimate goal would be to control the type and quality of any planned improvements to the surrounding neighborhoods to the benefit of the university and our student population, but to also return these properties to the community as revenue generating land uses of higher tax value than those sub-standard structures which once made up the predominance of the area. • Additionally, some of the properties located to the north of campus near Union hospital may one day be re-purposed for uses associated with the currently being planned RHIC District (housing, commercial, medical, and light retail uses)

13. The Pathway to Success Initiative 3: Develop the neighborhoods around ISU • In the short term, while awaiting the final re-purposing of these neighborhoods, the university has created a park-like atmosphere for the neighborhood including the addition of several small tree farms to supplement future tree planting needs on our main campus.

14. The Pathway to Success Initiative 3: Develop the neighborhoods around ISU • Audit Chair Comment • As a new initiative, no formal FY11 actions were identified. • The audit of this initiative suggests explicit benchmarks should be created for FY12. • The Division of Business Affairs and Finance, with the support of the Foundation, has made significant progress.

15. The Pathway to Success Initiative 4: Develop a professional development and conference center in conjunction with an alumni center • Team Members: Gene Crume (Chair), Foundation • Teddy Lenderman, Foundation • Bryan Duncan, Facilities Management Jennifer Cook, Hulman Center • Candace Harper, Foundation • Have toured facilities at Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati with additional trips planned for the upcoming year.

16. The Pathway to Success Initiative 4: Develop a professional development and conference center in conjunction with an alumni center Audit Chair CommentMore robust and explicit benchmarks need to be identified if this initiative is to continue to be a component of the strategic plan.

17. The Pathway to Success Initiative 5: Create a gateway to ISU and a connection to Riverscape • Team Members: Kevin Runion (Chair), Facilities Management • Jim Jensen, Facilities Management • Scott Tillman, Facilities Management • Angie Lansing, Intercollegiate Athletics Bryan Duncan, Facilities Management • Sister Alma Mary Anderson, Art • George Stachokas, Library Pat Teeters, Facilities Management • Indiana State University is a founding member of Riverscape (Wabash River Development and Beautification Committee).

18. The Pathway to Success Initiative 5: Create a gateway to ISU and a connection to Riverscape • The university has recognized the potential for this transformational project to not only benefit the City of Terre Haute and the west central Indiana region, but to provide educational opportunities and research opportunities for students and faculty, opportunities most communities can only dream of having at their backdoor. • In only 5 short years the committee has been instrumental in changing the view of what the Wabash River is, from an open smelly, muddy ‘sewer’ to a valuable natural resource. • Development of the 7,000 acre Wabashiki (wetlands) Fish and Wildlife Refuge is well underway with not only local volunteer support but support from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, as well as various environmental groups such as ‘Ducks Unlimited’

19. The Pathway to Success Initiative 5: Create a gateway to ISU and a connection to Riverscape • In December, 2009, Indiana State University accepted the roadmap for its future by embracing a 20 year plan to improve campus and adjacent downtown student housing, improve academic facilities, administrative facility improvements, and finally to ‘cross 3rd. Street (U.S. 41) and begin development of a comprehensive athletic campus for all university athletic programs including football, baseball, softball, track and field, and soccer. • Since the acceptance of the university’s master plan in December. 2009, the university along with its partner the ISU Foundation have moved toward purchasing property as it became available, with the current land holdings being such that phase one the construction of a new track and field, and soccer venue could begin within a relatively short time to replace the antiquated Marks Field venue currently on the main campus’ western edge.

20. The Pathway to Success Initiative 5: Create a gateway to ISU and a connection to Riverscape • Discussions are also underway for such potential improvements to the area as: • - An environmental center along the Wabash River • - Improvements to pedestrian flow and crossing at 3rd. Street (U.S. 41) and Chestnut Street • - Creation of a newly enhanced, tree-lined with boulevard islands on Chestnut Street from 3rd. Street east to the center of campus at Dede Fountain. • - Extension of the community’s existing trail system from campus through the Riverscape athletic venue campus along the eastern edge of the Wabash River south under the U.S. 40 bridges to intersect with existing trails located in Fairbanks Park. The ultimate goal would be for this river trail to continue south to additional points of interest and venues.

21. The Pathway to Success Initiative 5: Create a gateway to ISU and a connection to Riverscape • Audit Chair Comment • This initiative was a start-up for FY11 and the primary actions have been acquisition and exploration. • No formal actions were defined for FY11. • The audit of this initiative suggests explicit benchmarks should be created for FY12.

22. The Pathway to Success Initiative 6: Improve student housing to meet expectations and needs of today’s students • Team Members: Mary Ellen Linn (Chair), Residential Life • David Stowe, Recreational Sports • Sue Sluyter, Dining Services • Brenda Monaghan, Residential Life • The former Barnes and Noble space in HMSU will be converted into a 458+- dining facility to augment smaller facilities in Dede I, Dede II, Dede III, Heritage Ballroom/Lounge, and Hulman Center. Targeted completion of fall 2011. • RFP/RFQ for A&E services for the renovation of Erickson Hall back to a residence hall from the current academic uses and the renovation of Lincoln Quad has been issued. Architect(s) will be selected this spring. • Off-campus housing RFQ to identify potential developers for a mixed use retail/student housing facility in the downtown area is being issued. Potential developer(s) to be selected by late summer.

23. The Pathway to Success Initiative 6: Improve student housing to meet expectations and needs of today’s students • Audit Chair Comment • On-going long term comprehensive planning necessitates a longer timeline than most initiatives and some actions may be abandoned. As a result, progress has made—but tangible outcomes may be limited within any single fiscal year. • The efforts of the Division of Business Affairs and Finance are to be commended. Likewise, the audit indicates that the division’s capacity to develop campus based partnership with Residential Life (now located in Academic Affairs) and to engage the broader campus community in the planning process is impressive.

24. The Pathway to Success Summary Partnering for Success focuses on developing partnerships with the local community to advance the University. This is a long-term vision with a planning horizon beyond the initial five years as outlined in The Pathway to Success. Many of these initiatives may take 15 to 20 years to realize the full potential.

25. The Pathway to Success Audit Chair Summary Partnering for Success is an ambitious and essential component of the strategic plan. While not originally a core goal, the activities and objectives reflect the institution’s mission and importance of charting a collaborative future for ISU, our community, and other stakeholders across the Wabash Valley. The very nature of collaboration is time intensive as it requires sustained relationship building and thus does not necessarily correspond to the annual cycle of the strategic planning process. While substantial progress has been made, the audit highly recommends reasonable benchmarks be identified for Initiatives 3 and 5 for FY12. Additionally, the prior benchmarks and activities associated with Initiative 4 should be more robust and rigorous.
