Stevens Institute of Technology announced today that its Board of Trustees approved the university’s new 10-year strategic plan, Stevens 2032: Inspired by Humanity, Powered by Technology.
"Propelled by the activities embedded in this plan, Stevens will continue its ascent to become a national and global leader in technology-centric education and research,” said President Nariman Farvardin and Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Jianmin Qu in a joint announcement. "With a renewed focus on enhancing our students’ experience and success and by amplifying our impact through research and innovation, we will elevate the university’s academic reputation and strengthen the connections among our community."
The plan is the result of an intensive and inclusive process led by the Strategic Planning Steering Committee. Committee members collected, evaluated and synthesized hundreds of inputs from many members of the Stevens community.
Stevens 2032: Inspired by Humanity, Powered by Technology sets an ambitious course for the next decade to achieve a shared vision for the future:
By 2032, Stevens will be a national and global leader in technology-centric education and research, serving as a magnet for exceptional students from all backgrounds who will fuel the innovation economy and for world-class faculty who create knowledge and technologies that transform the future.
