The Process
Inclusive, Transparent, and Focused on the Future
Over the course of the 2023-24 Academic Year, the UO Onward team is engaging with internal and external constituents in an inclusive and transparent process to help shape UO institutional priorities, goals, and strategies.
Through a series of input sessions, a set of institutional priorities and working goals were shared with members of the UO community. During the hour-long sessions, participants reflected on the priorities and goals, then brainstormed and contributed ideas for strategies, tactics, action items, performance indicators, or other ways to achieve the working goals. In place of, or in addition to the live sessions, community members contributed their responses through online surveys.
The Onward team will compile and analyze input from the sessions, using it to revise the goals and produce key elements of a broad draft plan.
The Onward team will seek final comment and input from the community, and the president will share his vision for the university, informed by the key elements of the plan.
This plan will become a living document and roadmap for action. Every school/college, division, and department will have the opportunity to identify ways to align their priorities, activities, and resources with this broad institution-level strategic plan, leveraging the expertise of their faculty and staff and the experience of our students.
