COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING ANNUAL REPORT ACADEMIC YEAR 2007 – 2008 A College on the move…. It is a true pleasure to submit this annual report. During this first year as Dean I have discovered that CAP is not only a top-tier college, but that we are in fact an institution that is ready to take things to the next level and become one of the best colleges of architecture and planning in the world. As we take things to the next level, this report has abandoned the typical structure of reporting on each college unit separately. It has been our choice to adopt the structure of our University’s Strategic Plan and in such a way promote integration and synergy through all our units. It has been very rewarding for me, as I edited this report, to see that we are well aligned with our strategic plan. We hope that this report will provide abundant evidence of our high value within the institution. In addition to the many accomplishments that describe a very successful year at CAP, I would like to call your attention to the inclusion of an additional goal to the original 4 goals of our strategic plan. CAP’s Goal “0” is “to contribute to the distinctiveness of Ball State University, and in that framework develop a unique identity among schools of architecture and planning”. Seeking that uniqueness, this report includes THE CAP GREEN PAPER, an ever-changing and collaborative document that serves as repository of our collective understanding of who we are, our mission, vision, and plans. We invite you to review this report and share in our excitement and enthusiasm. This is a great time to be at CAP.
