Our shared future depends on choices we make today. If we manage change rather than letting change manage us, the UW will emerge from the current economic climate strong and well-positioned for the future. To meet this need, the Provost launched the Two Years to Two Decades (2y2d) Initiative.
Over 3,500 faculty, students, staff and members of the UW community participated in 2y2d focus groups and surveys to identify strategic priorities. This collective feedback has helped us envision a shared future for the UW (the “two decades” of 2y2d), which guides our near-term decisions.
Developed from priorities identified by the 2y2d focus groups, the Sustainable Academic Business Plan is a strategic yet practical plan to maintain academic priorities while managing financial realities. The Plan guides near-term goals and activities (the “two years” in 2y2d) that will position the UW to thrive in the next two decades.
