Opportunity and Competitiveness: Portland State University Strategic Plan, 2011-2014
The strategic priorities and goals outlined in this strategic plan are based on a three-year timeframe.
The overarching goal for PSU during this time period is to make substantial progress toward becoming the
model university of the 21st century: a university that exemplifies educational excellence and student success, a place where campus and community are inextricably linked, and an environment that fosters development of innovative solutions to the difficult challenges that face societies locally and globally.
To that end, the Strategic Plan sets specific goals for student retention and graduation, diversity training and internationalization, and research growth and development. It also outlines specific strategies to enhance faculty and staff support and engagement, raise the university’s profile among the general public and policymakers and build a university-wide culture of philanthropy.
