How does having a leadership position help faculty and staff at PSU?
Clearly articulating what distinguishes PSU from others will improve the University’s ability to deliver on its promise. This, in turn, adds to PSU’s credibility, building trust and enhancing its reputation in the region and beyond. When we differentiate ourselves, it is easier to set clear goals and progress measures. Day-to-day activities are more directly oriented toward longer-term objectives that advance the University’s mission. It also becomes easier to explain what PSU stands for and where it is headed. A more precise focus adds to PSU’s reputation, making it a place of pride for those who work here and contributes to its mission. Establishing our reputation in engagement will create a magnet for students and faculty and build credibility and influence for programs beyond those first selected for advancement.
