The PSU in 2030 Work Group led the development of a strategic vision that describes how PSU will be different if we live up to the commitments we are making to our faculty, students, employees, and community by leveraging our unique strengths

Key questions answered by this work group:

  • How will PSU’s unique strengths, if applied over time and at scale, improve student lives and our community?
  • What do we think needs to happen to achieve these aims? 
  • How will we know we’ve made progress or achieved our aims?

With input from the Strategic Planning Steering Committee and Academic Leadership Team, the PSU in 2030 Work Group drafted seven aims that served as a foundation for PSU's strategic vision.

For each of the seven aims, the PSU in 2030 Work Group developed ideas for key drivers of success. Faculty, staff, and students were invited to help guide the prioritization of success drivers and share additional ideas through a survey. Over 370 responses were received and over 370 new ideas for success drivers were submitted. Community feedback on draft aims and drivers provides critical context for the development of a 2030 Vision and Strategic Imperatives.

2030 Vision

PSU thrives as Oregon's urban research university where every student develops the knowledge and skills they need to successfully engage in careers and the world. We are a national leader for social mobility through higher education, a model for serving minoritized learners, and a driving force for Portland's success.

PSU is a dynamic workplace that supports the professional development and well-being of all employees. We harness our academic excellence, innovative research, strategic partnerships and community engagement to address local, regional, and global challenges.
