Strategic Pillars

There are a number of competing priorities on a campus as large and as diverse as ours. In an effort to give our teams focus, we have identified five strategic pillars to give our faculty, staff and strategic partners clarity about the areas we will prioritize in our planning and funding.

These pillars are:

Student Success & Engagement

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Branding & Partnerships

Research & Innovation

Sustainability

View the details about each pillar

We have organized our objectives and initiatives around these five pillars, and we will work to identify our measurable goals and add new initiatives as we tackle this plan in the coming years.
