Adapting a Balanced Scorecard approach, Stockton 2020 represented an ongoing planning process. Four Initiative Teams were established; Learning, Engagement, Global Perspectives and Sustainability (LEGS). See the 2020 Themes Overview for information about these teams.

The 2020 LEGS Initiative Teams reviewed ideas (from faculty, staff and students) and assisted with developing proposals. Applications receiving Initiative Team support were forwarded to the 2020 Steering Committee for further review. When advancing proposals to the President for final consideration, the Steering Committee recommended the appropriate shared governance or administrative pathway.
