MSU announces revised strategic plan

EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Michigan State University President Kevin Guskiewicz announced on Thursday the release of a revised strategic plan, MSU 2030: Excellence for Global Impact.

Originally unveiled in 2021, the plan has been updated to reflect the university’s progress and evolving goals.

The revised plan maintains its six core strategic priorities:

• Student success
• Staff and faculty success
• Discovery and innovation for impact

• Stewardship for a sustainable future
• Access, opportunity, and excellence

In addition to these priorities, the updated plan introduces five unifying themes designed to guide the university’s direction:

• Grow talent for Michigan and beyond

• Enroll for the future
• Build community together
• Achieve next-generation operations and organization

MSU 2030: Excellence for Global Impact envisions MSU becoming the nation’s leading contemporary land-grant university by the year 2030.

“This reimagined strategic plan continues to recognize our people as the university’s greatest asset and the beating heart of the institution,” said Guskiewicz. “By supporting their success, we position the university to advance the very best education, research, and workplace culture for Spartans, together with value and service to the public in keeping with our great land-grant tradition.”

Looking ahead, the plan maintains several measurable outcomes established in the original version, including:

• Increasing the six-year undergraduate graduation rate by 5%, reaching 86% by 2030
• Achieving $1 billion in total research expenditures by 2030
• Tripling funding from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
