Many of you have inquired about Governor Stitt’s Executive Order 2023-31. Over the past few weeks, the university has been diligently working to assess the implications of this executive order while actively engaging with the campus community and key stakeholders. Navigating these changes is a complex process that demands careful consideration, and I genuinely appreciate your patience as this work unfolds.
Starting in May 2024, the university will begin a refresh of the Lead On, University Strategic Plan.
As we approach the halfway point of our Strategic Plan, it’s time for a refresh – a time to celebrate our achievements, build on our successes, and strive for even greater heights of excellence.
