WHAT OUR COMMUNITY SAID
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY STRATEGIC PLAN
The university strategic plan, The Virginia Tech Difference: Advancing Beyond Boundaries, was developed in collaboration with faculty, staff, students, and alumni across our colleges, institutes, offices, and campuses, and shaped by partners and employers. Approved in 2019, this plan guided initial steps to achieving our long-term Beyond Boundaries future as a comprehensive research land-grant university by affirming our vision, mission, and core values; defining university priorities; and outlining goals and milestones to achieve each priority.
A new strategic planning cycle beginning in 2025 will focus on integrating presidential priority areas with the foundational elements of our previous plan. The Office for Strategic Affairs will continue to work closely with colleges, institutes, offices, and units to ensure broad participation and alignment across the university community as Virginia Tech moves closer to meeting its vision.
THE PLAN IN ACTION
The Virginia Tech Difference: Advancing Beyond Boundaries reinforces our university's established strengths and serves as a university-level guide for colleges, institutes, offices, departments, and units as they develop their respective strategies and plans to advance institutional priorities.
The university strategic plan has been adopted by Virginia Tech since its unanimous approval by the Board of Visitors on June 3, 2019.
Our vision, mission, core values, and strategic priorities are already being put into action in efforts at the university.
