Win Wall


In most planning efforts, organizations seek out what is broken in a system and use that as their starting point for change. But this deficit-based view of planning doesn’t take into account an organization’s strengths. At SIU Carbondale, we believe that what got us here is what will keep us here, and we don’t want to lose sight of the amazing accomplishments that have solidified our legacy.

Our University has achieved many great things in our 151-year history and we must reflect on these as we ponder what comes next for our future. As different groups were engaged in this process, we asked participants to talk about the wins we have achieved this past year. The following is just a sample of the hundreds of responses we received:

University Accomplishments

Stability in campus leadership and a new chancellor Improving retention rates
