Welcome to Great Danes Rising: Unleashing Our Potential, our University's exciting new strategic plan. Building upon the remarkable achievements of our prior plan, Authoring Our Success, we are poised to embark on a transformative journey that will propel us even further toward excellence.
The University at Albany is, thanks to our faculty, staff, students and alumni, experiencing great momentum in all five of our core priorities: student success, research excellence, diversity and inclusion, internationalization, and engagement and service. These priorities will guide our path to success.
The five core priorities of our Strategic Plan remain intact from the prior plan, as they collectively express UAlbany’s unique assets—and our aspirations for the future. They are the touchstones that will anchor the next chapters in our already long and rich history.
We support these five priorities with three main strategies, advanced through institutional initiatives that will be measured through data points, such as retention, increased funding, engagement, participation and enrollment. In this Strategic Plan, we move forward with concrete plans, many based on ideas we have already begun to implement.
As we embark on this ambitious journey, we invite all members of our University community to join us in unleashing our full potential. Together, we will rise to new heights of achievement, impact lives, and shape a brighter future for all, and with your help and input, we will power the University at Albany’s momentum, research and rising reputation.
This is our time to unleash the great potential of the University at Albany.
