Strategic Planning leaders to engage with governance groups

The Strategic Planning Working Group continues to make progress on the development of CU’s Strategic Plan 2.0, having recently completed its second meeting and soon embarking on conversations with members of the CU community.

To ensure broad, meaningful engagement across the CU system, Strategic Planning Co-Chairs Lynn Vidler, provost at UCCS, and Chad Marturano, vice president and chief financial officer for the CU system, will be attending several governance group leadership meetings throughout the 2025-26 academic year to dialogue with faculty, staff and students. The conversations will be essential in shaping a strategic direction that reflects the values and aspirations of the entire community.

The working group also is developing an interactive engagement tool that will be available on the Strategic Planning website later this fall. This tool will allow CU community members to share feedback, explore emerging themes and stay informed as the process evolves.

The Strategic Planning Working Group consists of faculty, staff and administrators from all four campuses and CU system administration. The systemwide group is tasked with developing a plan that will align with CU’s mission and vision and guide the university’s growth and success in the years ahead.

A draft plan is due to President Todd Saliman by June 2026. The final Strategic Plan 2.0 will be presented to the Board of Regents in summer 2026. CU’s inaugural 2021-26 Strategic Plan remains the university’s guiding document through June 2026.
