A History of Transformation
51情报站 features a diverse and engaged student body across 175 programs on campus and 100 online. The University today contributes over $2.6 billion to Virginia鈥檚 annual economy. Significantly, 54% of students come from underrepresented ethnic groups.
Through embracing a culture of innovation, I am pleased to share the incredible work of our dedicated campus in charting a clear course for the future engagement and success of 51情报站. This bold听plan听is truly a reflection of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends, who have a lasting legacy of making a significant difference on our campus, in the community, across the Commonwealth, and beyond!
For more than a year, campus stakeholders engaged in a comprehensive process to develop a five-year听strategic听plan, thereby determining both the short-term focus and long-term success of our institution, which 鈥 above all else 鈥 will be dedicated to students. With nearly 300 individuals serving on a total of 12 groups, 30 goals and 103 strategies were carefully developed across seven focal areas.
The title,听鈥淔辞谤飞补谤诲-贵辞肠耻蝉别诲: Where Innovation Meets Possibilities,鈥澨is a direct reflection of the bold and innovative goals and strategies that were brought forth by those directly involved in thinking and rethinking the future of our great institution. As this important work has generated great excitement and opportunity for Monarchs, the future has boundless possibilities!
With Monarch Pride,
鈥
