Work Groups
Each work group is a diverse, interdisciplinary collaboration of faculty, staff, students, and others working on one of the strategic planning themes. These groups will be responsible for providing a high-level summary of our University’s current expertise as it relates to each theme, and identify opportunities and key challenges we face over the next five to 10 years. They also will recommend initiatives by which we can provide innovative solutions to meet these challenges.
Achieve pre-eminence as an innovator in our missions of education, research, clinical care, and public service.
