Strategic Plan
Driven by the pursuit of excellence, the
University of Maryland has enjoyed a remarkable
rise in accomplishment and reputation over
the past two decades. By any measure, Maryland
is now one of the nation's preeminent public
research universities and on a path to become one
of the world's best. To fulfill this promise, we must
capitalize on our momentum, fully exploit our competitive
advantages, and pursue ambitious goals
with great discipline and entrepreneurial spirit. This
promise is within reach. This strategic plan is our
working agenda.
The plan is comprehensive, bold, and action oriented.
It sets forth a vision of the University as an
institution unmatched in its capacity to attract talent,
address the most important issues of our time,
and produce the leaders of tomorrow. The plan will
guide the investment of our human and material
resources as we strengthen our undergraduate and
graduate programs and expand research, outreach
and partnerships, become a truly international center,
and enhance our surrounding community.
Our success will benefit Maryland in the near and
long term, strengthen the State's competitive
capacity in a challenging and changing environment
and enrich the economic, social and cultural
life of the region. We will be a catalyst for progress,
the State's most valuable asset, and an indispensable
contributor to the nation's well-being.
Achieving the goals of Transforming Maryland
requires broad-based and sustained support from
our extended community. We ask our stakeholders
to join with us to make the University an institution
of world-class quality with world-wide reach and
unparalleled impact as it serves the people and the
state of Maryland.
