In the following pages, we outline four pillars that will anchor UOE’s efforts over the next 5 years, concluding with cross-cutting themes that span all four areas of strategic effort. These priorities align with MSU 2030: Excellence for Global Impact, the university’s strategic plan, by:

• elevating student success through engaged learning and career pathways, growing talent for Michigan and beyond;
• advancing interdisciplinary research that delivers strong societal benefit;
• increasing proactive engagement with communities based on partnerships informed by shared goals and mutual learning, building community together; and
• stewarding our human and financial resources to continuously improve services and supports for MSU students, faculty, staff, and community partners.
