With the visionary gifts of alumni and friends, we can tackle the world’s most pressing problems—and solve them. Public universities are distinguished by their dedication to serving the needs of society. We propose to become the leader in food, water, and energy security, ensuring that these resources are abundant, affordable, and safe; to tackle fundamental challenges associated with human health and well-being; and to realize our potential as a driver for economic development, job creation, and student career success. We intend to bring together the diverse breadth and depth of our powerful research and educational institution to address the enduring issues of our time.
