SWOT
Strengths and Opportunities
„
„
„
„
Already a “transdisciplinary”
dept.
Many collaborations across
units
Strong grant and publication
record
Student demand for applied
programs
Community Development and Applied Economics Department
Weaknesses and Threats
„
Losing identity as a “new identity” is built
„
Trandisciplinary, within losing out to transdisciplinary, across
„
Student demand
„
Declining grant opportunities
„
Academy not ready for transdisciplinary—we aren’t organized for
it—can’t cannibalize current dept./college, as Centers, Spires, etc.
need resources…how to make the transition?
„
Applied takes time
„
In a resource constrained world, new silos are built (just an
observation)
„
Scrambling for the same piece of the “pie”
„
What will the new University look like?
