Student Affairs Strategic Plan 13 STUDENT AFFAIRS MODEL In its second iteration, the Student Affairs Strategic Plan (2025-2030) adopts the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) planning model. Widely used by corporations, non-profits, and institutions of higher education, this planning model breaks down complicated efforts into smaller and achievable parts to maintain momentum and transparency. Objectives are designed to fulfill the student success mission of Northern State University and Student Affairs. Each objective is recognized as contributing to key experiences that impact student recruitment and retention. Objectives are large, audacious goals, which should be challenging and should speak directly to our mission. Key Results are designed to accomplish the stated Objectives and should be easily measured and evaluated. Each semester, Student Affairs identifies specific Key Results to work on that term to break the overall strategic plan into manageable semester goals. For more on Objectives and Key Results, see Measure What Matters by John Doerr. OBJECTIVES Objective 1. Advance Student Success Objective 2. Enrich the Residential Experience Objective 3.
