Strategic Plan & Quality Review

MISU Strategic Plan

MISU’s Strategic Plan 2020-2024 was launched in January 2020. With the plan and goals identified in our Strategic Plan developed Pre-Covid, this meant that a number of our goals had to reviewed in terms of how we were going to deliver them but also meant we had to assess the relevance of goals for a Post-Covid student body. 

The plan identified 17 goals in 4 Priority Areas and the following graphic provides updates on the current standing of the goals in each of the Priority Areas:

MISU Quality Review

With the completion of the Strategic Plan in 2024, MISU had an opportunity to participate in the MIC Quality Review Process; a process which provides for MISU to engage in evidence based self-reflection and assessment of the quality of our activities and processes and, to identify opportunities for quality improvement as well as aligning the outcomes of the process with the development of our next Strategic Plan. 

The Quality Review Process has three phases: 

1. Self-Assessment 
2. Peer Review 
3. Quality Improvement 

MISU’s Quality Review Process commenced in October 2024 with a number of facilitated  workshops taking place. These workshops were attended by MISU Officers, Staff, Class Reps, Clubs & Socs members and members of the MISU Management Advisory Board and the MISU Commercial Services DAC Board. 

Following the focus groups, MISU commenced the process of writing the Self-Assessment Report (SAR); an analytical and evidence-based report which provides the foundation for the next phase of the process - Peer Review. 

Three external peers were nominated by MISU for a Peer Review Group (PRG). They read the Self-Assessment Report and following this, spent a number of days on campus meeting with the elected student officers, Class Reps, Clubs & Socs members, MISU Staff and members of MIC Senior Management. The PRG completed a Peer Review Report (PRR) on its findings which comprises of both commendations and recommendations.

The Peer Review visit took place in early April, and in early May, MISU received their report. 

Following receipt of the report, MISU will now move to the Quality Improvement phase of 

the process, which will consist of the following: 

• consideration of the recommendations and development of a Quality Improvement Plan (QIP); 

• identification of SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timed) action items necessary to implement the recommendations; 

• ongoing implementation of recommendations; 

• interim and final progress reports
