UGA begins work on next strategic plan

Beginning this fall, the University of Georgia will launch a wide-ranging planning process to formulate the institution’s next five-year strategic plan.

The strategic plan will be developed over the course of the 2025-26 academic year by a 30-member Strategic Planning Committee comprised of faculty, staff, students and alumni from across the UGA community. The committee, facilitated by Alton M. Standifer, vice provost and chief of staff to the provost, and Nathan A. Moore, deputy chief of staff to the president, will develop a series of goals and key performance indicators in response to three mission-centered strategic imperatives: 

  • Advance and strengthen instructional excellence and student success
  • Accelerate and expand research and innovation that improves society
  • Deepen UGA’s commitment to serving communities across Georgia and beyond 

The committee will seek to develop goals that are clear and measurable, achievable over a five-year period, and overarching to encompass UGA’s major academic and administrative units.

Input from the UGA community is vital to identifying key institutional goals for the next five years. To that end, community members are asked to complete a short feedback survey by Sept.12.
