By any measure, UCLA is a remarkable engine of positive change in California and across the globe. Our university provides an excellent education to a widely diverse student body. We produce transformative research for the public good. And we contribute greatly to the welfare of our region, state and the world.
Bruins are driven by the immense impact we have on the communities we serve. The question at the heart of UCLA’s 2023-28 strategic plan is how we deepen our impact at a moment of transformation within our broader society, within Los Angeles and within our university.
In short: how can we create the future?
Our Vision
UCLA Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Darnell Hunt shares more about the plan and the cross-cutting theme of inclusive excellence:
Our Goals
Our strategic plan’s goals and priorities were developed through extensive consultation with a broad range of stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members.
With this plan, we are endeavoring to create the future of UCLA — one in which we surmount the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that we face as an institution. In maximizing UCLA’s contributions to the world, we will also help create a better future for our global society. With greater impact as our goal, and inclusive excellence as our means of achieving it, we will do this with equity and justice at the forefront.
