Welcome to Uniting Trailblazers: Strategic Plan 2030
Utah Tech University has a remarkable story, and this is our next chapter. Uniting Trailblazers is a bold, visionary plan, shaped by the dedication of the faculty, staff, students, and community leaders who have built this institution for generations. It’s designed to help us embrace this unique moment and build for the future.
The plan rests on four pillars: Academic Excellence & Innovation, Student Experience & Success, People & Culture, and Community Engagement & Philanthropy. Together, they align us around shared priorities and provide a North Star for decisions ahead.
On this site, you’ll find details on each pillar, including initiatives and action items, key performance indicators, and the people leading the work.
This plan is the product of a truly collaborative effort, and I’m grateful to everyone across our campus and community who helped shape it. I’ve never been more optimistic about Utah Tech’s future. Thank you for being part of what comes next!
