¹ú²ú´«Ã½'s Strategic Plan, Soaring Forward, was officially endorsed by the Board of Trustees in September 2025. At the State of the University Address, President Joe Bertolino introduced the Strategic Plan Implementation Co-Leads who will work closely with Divisional Executives to guide the work ahead. Together, they will help shape Stockton’s next chapter through five key priorities:

  • Cultivate a Community of Care
  • Inspire Minds
  • Empower Student Success
  • Anchor in Purpose
  • Sustain Tomorrow

This fall, our primary focus is the development of objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs). The KPIs will be presented to the Board of Trustees in December. These metrics will guide our progress and shape our work for the next three years and beyond.

This week, the Implementation Co-Leads and Divisional Executives are participating in a series of working sessions with EAB, focusing on KPI development and aligning our collective efforts. In the coming weeks, Divisional Executives will assemble their respective action teams. These teams will help define how each unit contributes to our shared priorities — and how we measure success along the way.

We are committed to a process that is thoughtful, inclusive, and clear. A visual roadmap has been added to our internal calendar to help orient us in this phase of work.

Stay tuned for future updates as we continue to Soar Forward — together.
