The Lubar College of Business is moving forward with its 2025–2030 strategic plan, a five-year roadmap shaped by input from faculty, staff, students, alumni, and business leaders. The plan is designed to position the College for greater impact in the current environment.

With the new plan as a roadmap, the College is not only strengthening its internal operations but also reaffirming its promise to prepare graduates who are ready to succeed—and to contribute to the economic vitality of the region.

Over the summer, a team created the first-year administrative assessment plan. This framework translates strategies into measurable outcomes, ensuring the plan is both actionable and accountable. Staff members who are closest to the College’s operations played a key role in shaping the tactics and metrics, reinforcing the importance of collaboration in driving progress.

Implementation is now underway for the 2025–26 academic year. Faculty and staff will receive two progress reports—one mid-year and one at year’s end—providing transparency and regular updates on milestones achieved.

By aligning strategies with clear measures of success, the College is reaffirming its promise to prepare graduates who are ready to thrive in a rapidly changing business environment and to strengthen the economic vitality of the region. With this new plan, the Lubar College is charting a confident course toward a stronger future.
