Strategic Planning and Priorities
Guided by our "Three T's"—transform, translate, and transcend—our strategic plan, Impact 2025 and Beyond, helped advance our mission over the last several years. That plan has now concluded and a new strategic planning process will take place over the 2026-2027 academic year to launch in the Fall of 2027.
Our strategic priorities of student and faculty success, fiscal responsiveness, elevated profile and recognition, and operational excellence and efficiency have informed divisional goals, strengthened our foundation, and prepared us for the exciting next chapter of UHCL’s story, one that we will write together.
