Strategic Plan Refresh

Temple University is embarking on a Strategic Plan Refresh, which builds on the foundation of our current plan, to ensure our institutional priorities align with the evolving needs of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and surrounding community.

“The Strategic Plan Refresh is a pivotal moment for us to reflect, reimagine, and reaffirm our shared vision for Temple’s future. This process is not just about refining goals—it’s about listening to our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners to ensure that Temple remains a leader in innovation, academic excellence, and social impact. I encourage every member of our university community to engage in this effort, share their perspectives, and help shape a bold and inclusive future for Temple University.”
