Davis</span></span></strong></span></span></span></h2> <p>The University of California, Davis contains an extraordinary breadth of disciplinary expertise that has grown and been nurtured over the decades. One of our enduring strengths is the community’s commitment to collaborate and cooperate in research and education. Our success will rest heavily on our ability to leverage this great strength, identify priorities, and build academic excellence.</p> <p>UC Davis’ strategic plan, “To Boldly Go,” outlines the aspirations and methods for guiding the university to new heights of distinction over the next 10 years. The plan draws on our responsibility as a public land-grant university and maximizes our opportunities as a driver of innovation and economic growth for the public good.</p> <h2>Our Goals</h2> <a href="/strategic-plan/goal-1" class="media-link"> <div class="media-link__figure"> <p><img alt=""A student smiling during commencement"" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7d1a71f-8505-437b-968f-04185904bb77" src="/sites/g/files/dgvnsk1166/files/inline-images/education-strat-plan.jpg" width="1071" height="1071"></p> </div> <div class="media-link__body"> <h3 class="media-link__title">Strategic Plan Goal 1</h3> <div class="media-link__content"> <p>Provide an educational experience that prepares all of our students to address the needs and challenges of a diverse and changing world.</p> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/strategic-plan/goal-2" class="media-link"> <div class="media-link__figure"> <p><img alt=""Researcher posing with beaker"" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="184aeac8-b6b3-4763-a45f-bbdc00225ef5" src="/sites/g/files/dgvnsk1166/files/inline-images/research-strat-plan.jpg" width="1071" height="1071"></p> </div> <div class="media-link__body"> <h3 class="media-link__title">Strategic Plan Goal 2</h3> <div class="media-link__content"> <p>Enable and support research that matters at the frontiers of knowledge, across and between the disciplines, in support of a healthy planet and the physical and societal well-being of its inhabitants.</p> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/strategic-plan/goal-3" class="media-link"> <div class="media-link__figure"> <p><img alt=""Students laughing in a study space on campus"" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6ca652dc-55c7-4db9-8ebc-f7265f811d24" src="/sites/g/files/dgvnsk1166/files/inline-images/diversity-strat-plan.jpg" width="460" height="460"></p> </div> <div class="media-link__body"> <h3 class="media-link__title">Strategic Plan Goal 3</h3> <div class="media-link__content"> <p>Embrace diversity, practice inclusive excellence and strive for equity.
