Oregon State University's strategic plan is built upon outcomes from the OSU-2007 planning process that involved hundreds of individuals in thousands of conversations since January 2002. The plan reflects ideas and insights from faculty, students, staff, administrators, and constituents and stakeholders.
The plan is also informed by the priorities of the Oregon University System, the Governor, the work of various think-tank groups and initiatives, including the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State and Land-Grant Universities, the Oregon Business Plan, and the Oregon Council for Knowledge and Economic Development.
—Edward J. Ray, President (February 2004)
