STRATEGIC GOALS AY 2022-2024
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT I am delighted to share University of the People’s 2022-2024 Strategic Plan. University of the People is a university unlike any other. UoPeople was built on the foundation that higher education is a basic right for all. Since its inception, the University has offered affordable, accessible, quality, degree-granting programs. We envision a world in which all qualified high school graduates have access to higher education, regardless of financial, geographic, political, and personal circumstances. We will continue to grow and expand our offerings until that dream comes true. Since the publishing of our 2019-2021 Strategic Plan, the University has accomplished a number of significant milestones. The University has grown from 10,000 students in the 2018 Academic Year to over 100,000 in the 2022 Academic Year. The University opened its gates even wider to accommodate those most deserving of higher education, including over 10,600 refugees. UoPeople was recognized as a Candidate for Accreditation by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). The University also announced partnerships with the German and United States governments to provide scholarships for students around the world, as well as Harvard Business School Online, McGill University (Canada), Effat University (Saudi Arabia) and Long Island University. Finally, UoPeople launched its first Arabic degree program, a milestone in providing tuition-free, American, accredited higher education for refugees and displaced populations around the globe. As we look ahead to the next three years, we are excited to continue this progress and further improve our offerings and service to our students. In preparing this strategic plan, we aligned all discussions and goals to the University’s mission, vision, and values. We have identified four key areas of growth to ensure we continue to provide life-changing higher education opportunities to all qualified students, build our diverse, global community, maintain our integrity and transparency, and assure our quality. Our first goal is to maintain our sustainable growth using technology, data optimization, human resources, and development. Our second goal is to enhance academic quality through robust teaching and learning assessment plans and program reviews. Our third goal is to increase student satisfaction and completion via technology and enhanced student support. Last, our fourth goal is to improve career opportunities for our students and graduates through our Career Service Center and corporate engagement. I am grateful to the many people responsible for brainstorming and evaluating this three-year strategic plan. From our distinguished Board of Trustees and President’s Council Members to our Strategic Planning Committee, individuals at all levels of the institution collaborated to create a concrete action plan to achieve our most important goals. I look forward to the meaningful progress we will make together. Sincerely, Shai Reshef President University of the People
