Executive Summary
Penn State’s Finance & Business organization is 2,800 full-time employees strong. The experience, talent, and work ethic that each employee possesses powers F&B through its daily operations across the commonwealth. Each employee helps to make F&B stronger, and a stronger F&B builds a better foundation for the student-centered university that Penn State aims to be.
During the creation of the 2008-2013 Strategic Plan, F&B leadership turned to its outstanding team of employees to assist in developing a roadmap for the future with pragmatic initiatives as well as ambitious, yet attainable goals. Through several meetings, both large and small, the plan was created.
This F&B Strategic Plan will be a dynamic document for its five-year lifespan. Employees are encouraged to reference it regularly to understand where F&B is going and what we are doing to get there—because with better planning comes a quality future.
