<p>San Diego State University's strategic plan "We Rise We Defy: Transcending Borders, Transforming Lives" is designed to establish SDSU鈥檚 vision and mission for the next five years, from 2020 to 2025.</p> <p>The plan is designed to elevate the distinctive nature of the university and its campus community. The strategic plan serves as the primary guide for SDSU鈥檚 growth and commitment to teaching, research and creativity, with the intention of transforming the lives of students and engaging our communities. We believe and know that the transformative experience provided at SDSU enriches lives and strengthens communities on our own campus and in our binational region, and has a lasting impact around the world through the work of our students, faculty, staff and alumni.</p> <p>After months of institutional research, benchmarking, and community engagement and input, five strategic priorities emerged: Becoming a Premier Public Research University: A New Kind of Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI); Resilience. Designed to Thrive; We Are SDSU; Equity and Inclusion in Everything We Do; and Students at Our Core. The university did not prepare a separate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) plan; DEI is integrated across the strategic plan.</p> <p>Each of the five priority areas have corresponding key activities and deadlines to guide the strategic planning process and chart SDSU鈥檚 future for the next five years and beyond.</p> </div></section> <section class="aztec-section"><div class="go-aztec"><div class="go-aztec__img" style="background-image:url(/_images/librarydome.jpg);"></div><div class="go-aztec__content"><div class="container"><div class="go-aztec__heading"><h3>Strategic Plan Feedback Form</h3><p>Provide feedback for the next Phase of the strategic plan: SDSU community members are invited to offer input to inform the next phase of the university鈥檚 strategic plan.</p></div><ul class="go-aztec__list"><li><a href="https://www.sdsu.edu/strategic-plan/shape-the-future">Shape the Future: Phase II of the Strategic Plan</a></li><li><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXl3vnNWMTQ1SXrQgVQpzt1rOSWtvKqOdCOpeGJvUpxeLARw/viewform">Feedback Form</a></li></ul></div></div></div></section> <section class="here-section"><div class="here-section__content"><div class="container"><div class="here-section__header"><h2>SDSU Strategic Plan Documents</h2><p>Read the 2024 Strategic Plan Summary, detailing progress to date, and the original Strategic Plan.</p></div><ul class="here-section__list"><li><a href="/strategic-plan/_files/sdsu-strategic-plan-summary-update_feb-2024.pdf">Strategic Plan Summary Report</a></li><li><a href="/strategic-plan/pdfs/sdsu-strategic-plan-2020-2025-report-082620.pdf">2020 - 2025 Strategic Plan</a></li></ul></div></div><div class="here-section__img" style="background-image:url(/strategic-plan/_images/we-rise.png);"></div></section> <section class="wysiwyg"><div class="container"> <h2>Strategic Directions, Goals and Activities</h2> <p>Five strategic priorities emerged through a months-long process of institutional research, benchmarking and community engagement and input.</p> <ul> <li><a href="/strategic-plan/updates/premier-public-research-university">Becoming a Premier Public Research University: A New Kind of HSI</a></li> <li><a href="/strategic-plan/updates/resilience-designed-to-thrive">Resilience.
