³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ Road Map
To the campus community,
The University’s strategic plan, the Road Map to Premier, has ended. As I prepare to leave my duties as president later this semester, ending the Road Map is a necessary step to allow ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ’s next president the opportunity to create and communicate their vision for the University’s future.
The Road Map is undoubtedly one of the brightest highlights of my time as president. At first, we established five strategic priorities that drove our planning and decision-making, later adding a sixth priority. Those priorities were:
- Creative Activities
- Learning Community
- Inclusive Campus
- Engagement
- Strategic Investments
- Internationalization
Since the Road Map launched in 2013, the University has used those six priorities as guideposts for improving and expanding the work it does and the services it provides while adhering to its mission and values. The Road Map also evolved over time, providing campus leadership a mechanism to address pressing and emerging needs and gather invaluable feedback from members of the campus community. Simply put, the Road Map has strengthened teaching, learning, research, student success and the physical spaces on campus – and so many more elements of what makes ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ a truly premier public university.
I believe that the greatest success of the Road Map was the broad scope of individuals from across the campus community who participated and engaged in strategic planning. ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ students, especially the Road Map interns, were instrumental in its success, as were the hundreds of faculty and staff who served on Road Map committees and worked to put new initiatives and programs in motion. To all those who were ever part of the Road Map, thank you for making ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ bigger and better without losing sight of what makes this such a special place. As the Road Map ends, know that we have reached our destination. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Harvey Stenger
President
