University System of Maryland Strategic Plan: What’s New for 2018
In 2010, the University System of Maryland (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) launched a
to increase the state’s economic competitiveness -- and thereby improve Maryland residents’ quality of life -- by increasing
college completion rates, fueling the state’s innovation economy, adopting new ways of teaching, reducing costs and achieving efficiencies,
and elevating Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ’s national and international eminence. After taking office as Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ chancellor in 2015, Robert L. Caret led a mid-term
update of the plan.
“The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ through 2020: A Renewed Vision for Powering Maryland Forward” revises several original goals and creates a new initiative to support campus equity, diversity, inclusion and civic engagement. This update precedes the development of a new strategic framework, which is expected to be unveiled in 2020. An overview of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s progress toward meeting its revised goals can be found here.
