Vol Vision 2020


We’re planning to make a series of cluster hires that will allow us to build upon our existing and emerging expertise in order to make a real difference in addressing major societal issues. We’ll be looking for help from you as we embark upon this process.


We’ve improved our freshman-to-sophomore retention rate in recent years, but it’s going to take all of us working together to achieve our goal.


Vol Vision 2020 received final approval from the Board of Trustees this summer, and we’re now ready for faculty and staff to help us put plans into action.


Our Milestone Review Committee interacted with more than 1,400 faculty, staff, students, and others to develop Vol Vision 2020, the refreshed version of our strategic plan. Your feedback helped us focus on issues we need to improve in our priority areas while also defining the attributes that make UT special.
