Dynamic Strategy
During the 2023–24 academic year, Ohio University will work together to develop a Dynamic Strategy to develop a set of shared University goals that will guide our work over the next five years. As President Lori Gonzalez announced in her Investiture address on October 18, 2023, she has charged four work groups, each of which will develop a concise list of goals in key areas.

Mission and Vision Refresh
President Gonzalez has also charged a committee to work on a parallel path to refresh OHIO's University mission and vision. The University mission was last updated in 2007.
