Strategic Planning

The School of Natural Resources and the Environment creates the knowledge and develops the scientific workforce needed to conserve and improve the condition of our natural resources for future generations.

In February 2024, the School of Natural Resources and the Environment began a strategic visioning process to define our future for the next five years. The approach was designed to ensure a comprehensive, forward-thinking, transformational vision for the future, one that will position the School of Natural Resources and the Environment among the most innovative and sought-after schools of its kind in the nation. The creation of this vision included input from a broad range of stakeholders, both internal and external to the School, all of whom are dedicated to helping co-create our future together. This comprehensive effort resulted in the following Strategic Plan that will guide our School of Natural Resources and the Environment during the next 3-5 years.
