The Butler 2020 Vision and supporting strategic platforms have moved from planning to action since its inception in 2014. Nine specific, measurable objectives designed to give rise to our success were developed and assigned to senior executive champions, who, in turn, assembled working teams to refine these objectives and build corresponding action plans.

Most recently, our champions compiled and incorporated the University community’s feedback into a set of defined initiatives. These initiatives serve as a roadmap to our broader ambition to not only keep pace as a leader among regional universities but to emerge as a national university with best-in-class academics, a robust career pipeline, a thriving community, and state-of-the-art campus amenities to better serve students.
