UW Strategic Planning

2025-26 Strategic Plan Development

The University of Washington is uniquely positioned to meet the challenges facing the state, the nation and the world today. Grounded in academic excellence, pioneering research, world-class clinical care and a deep commitment to public service, we are ready to lead in this time of transformation.

Our strategic planning process is a vital opportunity to leverage these strengths, confront emerging challenges and align our efforts around a bold, shared vision. We have launched an inclusive, community-informed process to develop a plan that will guide the University through 2030 — one that is ambitious, rooted in UW’s distinctive capabilities and regional assets, and accessible to the public.
