Stony Brook’s second Five Year Plan is the work of many people: seven Task Forces, the Coordinating Committee, and the many students, faculty, and staff who attended public meetings to discuss the preliminary draft or contributed written comments. Coordinating Committee Chair Dusa McDuff, the Task Force chairs, and project staff Emily Thomas deserve particular praise, for theirs was an arduous task.
The Five Year Plan for 2000-2005 synthesizes the priorities and concerns of the campus community into a set of specific actions that represent progress toward shared goals articulated in the planning process. We will take those actions, as we took those identified in the first Five Year Plan, and I will report their accomplishment to you annually.
I expect our next five years to be as exciting as the past five. We can build on great strength as we refine current programs and develop new initiatives to meet the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. Achieving the goals of this Plan will be an important part of what we do, and I look forward to working on them with and for you.
