Strategic Plan - University of Colorado Denver

V. STRATEGIC PLANNING: OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
an aggressive, yet balanced, approach to increasing resources and facilities to
support the university’s mission and vision; and
a recognition that people will achieve our vision, and that the university must
take better care of its employees and provide incentives, recognition, and
rewards for all who help us realize our plan and for those who will follow.
Each of these university strategic priorities has specific goals and objectives that apply
universitywide. These priorities, goals, and objectives, as articulated below, comprise
UC Denver’s first strategic plan. The order in which the goals and objectives are listed
does not imply their relative importance or the order in which they will be addressed.
The specific action steps designed to achieve the goals and objectives will be developed
during the implementation phase and will be embedded in the strategic plans to be
developed by schools, colleges, and academic and administrative units. Given the
breadth and depth of the plan, clearly not all units will pursue all objectives, nor will
all goals and objectives be pursued simultaneously. Rather, we will engage units as
appropriate when they are ready and capable. Over the course of the next decade or
more, we will make measurable progress on the plan through the accumulated and
focused work of every unit.
The university strategic priorities support the mission and vision of the university
and, coupled with the goals and objectives, provide the blueprint for achieving the
vision that: “By 2020, UC Denver will be a leading public university with a
global reputation for improving the quality of life through excellence in learning,
research and creativity, community engagement, and clinical care.”
We have the
plan, the talent,
and the will
to achieve
this vision.
