Achieving the above outcomes provides a
bright future for Clayton State University.
If we maintain the focus on the goals and
action steps of the plan, we will be suc-
cessful.

Reposition Clayton State University in
the Higher Education Marketplace and
Beyond
Action Step I:
Articulate the distinctive
vision and mission of Clayton State
University in bold and compelling terms
through sustained efforts in strategic com-
munications, including advertising and
public relations.
Action Step II:
Identify the overriding
communication objectives from Goals A-E.
Action Step III:
Develop a budget for a
campus-wide comprehensive marketing
and branding strategies that reposition
Clayton State University along the key
attributes identified in Goals A-E.
Action Step IV:
Implement chosen com-
munications plans to support achievement
of Goals A-E.
Action Step V:
Develop ongoing system
of assessing, tracking and reporting com-
munications effectiveness to be conducted
concurrently with Plan implementation.
Action Step VI:

effectiveness gaps in the communications
plans
activities that align with action steps that
support strategic goals. This inventory of
activities will highlight steps already
taken to position Clayton State University
for success. Reviewing our current activ-
ities is necessary so that all of us can act
to achieve our goals. Dr. Hynes notes,
“That success will ultimately bring others
to appreciate the distinctive characteristics
of the Clayton State University that we
know locally, nationally and internationally
so that it may be shared with others.”
The outcomes of the activity inventory
will provide departments with data need-
ed to adapt their programs to meet the
challenges of today’s economy. The
inventory will also let departments share
their experiences, their ideas with the
campus community. The inventory will
demonstrate how divisions, departments,
and individuals contribute to the success
of this university at every level of the
plan. With such knowledge, department
chairs and managers can minimize “re-
inventing the wheel” as we move forward
to achieve our goals.
