Planning Timeline

A Year of Planning

Auburn University’s Strategic Plan, was developed during the 2023–2024 academic year by a Steering Committee composed of Auburn students, faculty, staff, administrators, trustees, and alumni. This plan results from thought-provoking listening sessions, bold conversations, careful research and data collection, and the assessment of current initiatives. Serving as a critical guide for Auburn’s future, the plan identifies opportunities to strengthen our institutional capacity and foster a culture of enablement and innovation.

Following its approval by the Auburn University Board of Trustees, the university will begin an implementation process to advance our key goals and action items while simultaneously launching business modernization and institutional branding plans. These complementary efforts lay the foundation for the university’s upcoming capital campaign and will enable the university to undertake the necessary and critical work to achieve our strategic goals and key aspirations.
