General Recommendations
Employers continue to express a need for employees
who are collaborative, demonstrate leadership, and
communicate well. It is recommended that USI continue
to review curriculum components to ensure that these
skill sets are stressed.
USI should assume regional leadership in promoting
STEM- (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)
related education. Much could be accomplished by
a closer link between USI and K-12 to ensure compatible
curricula and closer interaction between K-12 teachers
and USI faculty.
USI should continue to have as its top priority providing
educated citizens for the regional workforce.
The University should continue to expand its role of
regional economic driver through expanded leadership
of economic and workforce development initiatives.
The University should continue to pursue the best ways
to encourage a culture of entrepreneurship across the
curriculum and in the regional economy.
Many people in the region are unaware of the breadth
of USI’s programs. USI should strengthen its regional
communication efforts, using radio and newspapers in
the regional communities.
The University should expand alternate delivery systems
for both credit and noncredit programs.
The University should examine the feasibility of creating
philanthropy and nonprofit management programs.
