UT System Strategic Plan

The UT System Strategic Plan establishes a vision and direction for success. Clearly defined goals ensure good stewardship and purposeful use of resources. The plan is also used to help identify potential risks and opportunities for UT and where important investments are needed.

Key Components of Our Framework

UT’s mission and values are key components of our strategic framework.

Our Strategic Framework

Throughout 2021, the UT System Strategic Plan steering committee and working groups — including members from the campuses and institutes — met to develop ways to build on successes and ensure continuous improvement toward achieving the greatest decade in the history of the University of Tennessee.

Three key themes emerged

    • Expanding UT’s research
    • Solving grand challenges
    • Building an engaged community for all
