Strategic Plan and Initiatives
Strategic planning
In 2012, the Board of Trustees endorsed the Vision 2020 strategic plan that will guide our collective actions through our sesquicentennial in 2020. It is a newly stated vision for our future, building upon Charting the Course—the 1999 plan that enabled such achievements as increased enrollment, a transformed campus, renewed research strength and record endowments.

The Campaign for Akron
The Campaign for UA is all about pursuing a bold vision and being accountable. With the "Aspire. Attain. Advance." campaign, we have recommitted to our vision of shaping our future.
Dollars raised will fund and endow academic programs, strengthen faculty and provide incentives for talented students to choose The University of Akron. Learn more about the campaign.
The Akron Model
The Akron Model is “tool chest” for strengthening community — a robust and broad-based platform for ensuring economic success in our region. Indeed, a growing number of components best illustrate the Akron Model – a model in which each initiative is the outcome of partnerships demonstrating the power of collective impact.

University Park Alliance
As part of the effort to create a new Landscape for Living, the University engaged with other major city organizations to form the University Park Alliance.
The alliance is revitalizing the diverse neighborhood in a 50-block area immediately surrounding the University, through engaging the community and catalyzing real estate and business investment. Learn more.
Technology without borders
We recognize that, in today's knowledge economy, students must be technologically competent and that the University must employ only the best management information systems. Thus, as a point of comparative advantage, Akron has become a regional leader in I.T.
