On November 20th, 2013 UCA unveiled a comprehensive strategy aimed at positioning itself as a national leader in higher education. Tom Courtway detailed the plan in remarks at his formal investiture as president of the university.
The plan will leverage the university’s strengths, allow it to best meet evolving student expectations, and address infrastructure needs on the Conway campus.
The strategy, titled Framework for the Future – A Blueprint for National Leadership and Regional Prominence is organized around three primary goals:
- Become one the top regional universities in the South.
- Create a campus that attracts and retains the best students, faculty, and staff.
- Maximize external relations effectiveness.
The vision has been highlighted through a variety of local media.
