During the 2019-20 academic year, we began a strategic planning journey, Lead On, University, to build on our past success, chart OU’s pathways for the future, and elevate the University to a new level of excellence.
Since launching the strategic plan, OU has made tremendous progress toward our pillars of excellence and the strategies and tactics prioritized for the university.
This plan, however, is not a static document nor will it follow a linear path. Instead, this plan is defined as a dynamic, ongoing process where we stretch ourselves in pursuit of our goals and embrace the journey ready to be agile and responsive to the needs of the University community and the communities in which we serve.
Next Fall 2024 will mark the halfway point, four years into our eight year strategic plan, Lead On, University.
This milestone provides us the opportunity to engage the University community in a refresh of our strategic plan. A refresh will allow the University to continue to build on our momentum, celebrate our recent successes, engage and listen to University constituents, apply those insights and our lessons learned, adapt and update our plans, and align our resources to continue our trajectory of transformation.
The refresh process for OU Norman’s Lead On Strategic Plan will incorporate the OU Health Sciences' Strategic Plan and the development of a new 5-year Strategic Plan for OU-Tulsa. This multi-phased process will begin in late May 2024 and wrap up by January 2025.
We value the insights and perspectives of every member of our community – faculty, staff, and students alike. Your ideas can spark innovation, drive efficiencies, and lead to high-impact initiatives that propel OU forward to new heights. Whether you have ideas related to new programs and offerings, partnerships, operational improvements, or any other aspect of university life, we want to hear from you.
We will have additional opportunities for alumni, community members, and other key constituencies to share their ideas later this year.
