Auburn University President's Office

Hello and welcome to Auburn University.

The Auburn University System has recently adopted a strategic plan that will guide our institution for the coming years. While it contains many reasons to grow excited about Auburn’s future, there are two I would like to share with you.

First, it represents a collective effort of the University, its stakeholders and those who care deeply about it. Ideas and suggestions were requested from throughout the Auburn Family, and focused on answering a simple question: what should Auburn be in 10 years?

More than 1,300 individuals participated in an Internet survey, and more than 30 meetings were held on and off campus to gather a wide range of views and recommendations. The new plan represents the best-of-the-best in strategic thinking from students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends.

The second reason the strategic plan gives cause for excitement is that it is a living plan that will evolve and grow as we implement its specific, measurable action items to strengthen our University. It will not collect dust on a bookshelf.

If you have not read the plan, we hope you will do so. It is available on our web site at www.auburn.edu/strategicplan.

Thank you for your interest in Auburn University. We are excited for what the future holds as Auburn continues to serve our state and nation and fulfill its instruction, research and extension missions.

War Eagle!
