Strategic Plan
The Office for Inclusive Strategy and Excellence has been working with colleges, senior management areas, and departments to develop their own Strategic Plans since 2016. Each college and most units (academic and administrative) have unit level Committees where a growing network of Directors and InclusiveVT representatives assist with elevating diversity initiatives and communication. In 2019, the BOV approved The Virginia Tech Difference: Advancing Beyond Boundaries strategic plan which was the first university plan that directly integrated diversity. Each unit across the institution will continue to move strategic initiatives forward with their own action and implementation plans that align with the university plan.
The University Strategic Plan contains four strategic priorities, each including an aspirational vision, goals, and milestones. Strategic Priority 2: Elevate the Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) Difference is highlighted below.
Strategic Priority 2:
Elevate the Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) Difference
The Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) Difference, a foundational differentiator for Virginia Tech, recognizes the integral connection with Virginia Tech’s land-grant responsibility of access and opportunity and its mission of service to humanity. Consistent with InclusiveVT, the institutional and individual commitment to Ut Prosim (That I May Serve) in the spirit of community, diversity, and excellence, Virginia Tech will build and support communities of discovery where global citizens engage with different ideas, beliefs, perspectives, experiences, identities, backgrounds, and cultures.
