Strategic Planning
The UM 2020 Strategic Plan delivers a bold vision that was designed to guide the University of Mississippi as it charted its course through the next decade. The plan helped us rise to the opportunities we identified, such as serving a growing and increasingly diverse student body, supporting a world-class faculty and research enterprise, and transforming our state and the nation through service, as well as to meet those challenges we had not yet anticipated.
It is important to recognize that this strategic plan served as a guide – a road map with many intersections and routes – rather than a linear pathway toward a bold vision. With this plan as a guide, the University of Mississippi aimed to continue to achieve its long-term vision of being a great American public university.
