The University of Georgia aspires to expand its positive impact on lives and communities across the state of Georgia, throughout the nation, and around the world.
To continue moving the University toward this aspiration, President Morehead and Provost Ayers have charged a Strategic Planning Committee comprised of senior administrators, faculty, staff, students, and alumni to develop a five-year strategic plan ranging from 2026 to 2031. To fulfill its charge, the committee will develop three to five goals in response to three mission-centered Strategic Imperatives:
- Advance and strengthen instructional excellence and student success
- Accelerate and expand research and innovation that improves society
- Deepen UGA’s commitment to serving communities across Georgia and beyond
The committee will seek to develop goals that are clear and measurable, achievable over a five-year period, and overarching to encompass UGA’s major academic and administrative units. The goals developed by the committee also will reflect a set of guiding principles established by President Morehead to describe the type of organization the University endeavors to be:
- Mission-centered
- Dedicated to continuous quality improvement
- Committed to supporting faculty, staff, students, and alumni
- Innovative and ambitious
- Flexible and responsive
- Fiscally responsible and efficient
