Strategic Plan 2023-25: Ways Forward

The Strategic Plan continues to prioritize and demonstrate how, together, the Cardinal Community leads the charge to help a better world take flight.

Sidebar

The plan prioritizes UofL's efforts to be a great place to learn, where we redefine student success, and work, where we live our mission of creating thriving futures for our students, our community and our society. Other priorities focus on efforts to make UofL a great place to discover, thanks to its high standing as a research and innovation powerhouse, and a great place to connect as a valuable resource to and partner with our community. The plan also includes five- and 10-year mileposts and an overarching statement of pride and purpose to guide us on our journey.
