About
Welcome to the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) information hub for offices that report to the Vice President for Student Affairs (SA). Too often, organizations make the misstep of measuring success and strategy decisions based largely on financial matters alone. A balanced scorecard is a strategic planning and performance management system that will help SA clearly communicate and track its vision, mission, and strategy of supporting students during their time at the U.
Representatives from each SA department will meet over the course of the summer to build the division-wide BSC. Once the division-wide BSC is finalized departments will create their own BSCs derived from the division-wide BSC.
