A plan for the next five years and beyond

I am very proud to present to you UW Tacoma’s 2022-27 strategic plan. It is not just words on your screen. It is a cornerstone on which we are building the UW Tacoma of 100 years from now.

A plan like this is only as strong as the institution’s commitment to it. I can assure you, based on my first-year experience as your Chancellor, that we and our community are united and steadfast in our goal to be the best regional university in the nation, providing economic and social mobility to thousands of students and their families.

I urge you to visit this plan online, where you will find the Strategic Plan Dashboard. That set of metrics and measures—tracking persistence and graduation rates, equity gaps, scholarly activity and more—is how you will hold us accountable.

My deep gratitude extends to the hundreds of people who had input on this plan, and also to the many thousands of others who have been a part of the first 32 years of the growth and development of UW Tacoma.
