So … now where are we going?

Gateway for GreatnessGateway for Greatness

Strategic plan will guide our progress for the next five years

Process that started last academic year should be completed this fall

The Gateway document establishes a new campus mission statement and set of core values

Similar priorities emerging as outlined in previous plan, but with different implementation strategies and different measurable goals

Gateway for GreatnessGateway for Greatness

Five Campuswide Priorities Enhance quality and delivery of undergraduate &

graduate/ professional education Recruit and retain an outstanding and diverse student body Enhance research, scholarship and artistic/creative activity Enhance civic engagement for economic and social benefit

of the region Increase financial base and continue to improve

stewardship of resources

Lot of accomplishmentsLot of accomplishments

With too few resourcesWith too few resources

We can all be proud of what we’ve done together. How have we done it? Pick your cliché:

Squeaky wheel (equity adjustment, science renovation) Roll up our sleeves (tremendous work ethic) Pull ourselves up by our bootstraps (amazing what we

accomplish with so few resources) Big bang for the buck (an investment in UMSL has

tremendous payoff)
