Toward a New Strategic Plan
Fall 2024 ushers in the occasion to re-engage with the work to develop a new strategic plan for UMBC! Strategic planning is important for any organization and provides an opportunity to focus the work we do together to best serve our students and community. Strategic planning is also an opportunity to be visionary, to envision UMBC’s future together and determine how we can be a catalyst in advancing higher education.
The broad UMBC community will be included in a variety of ways throughout this process. Such opportunities build on the work that so many shared throughout the past year, including the 22 Bold Conversations that saw more than 1,000 participants engage in discussions about UMBC’s distinctive strengths, its challenges, and our aspirations for the future. In addition, there are many other initiatives currently going on—for example, the Middle States Self-Study and the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification Self-Study—that will inform the UMBC community to set a course for the future. Our goals and priorities will align with the University System of Maryland’s Vision 2030 plan and the Maryland Higher Education Commission goals too.
