The following is a quote from the Strategic Plan: Strengthen the UAA Community. To make the best of the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, we must focus our attention on building and strengthening the UAA community as a whole. To build an institution distinguished as a diverse, engaged community of students, staff, faculty, alumni, and schools, colleges, and campuses, we will: 1. Increase the cultural, social, and intellectual diversity of students, staff, and faculty; place special emphasis on the recruitment, retention, and success of Alaska Natives and other underrepresented populations; substantially increase our recruitment of students from outside Alaska; 3. Become a model employer, recognized for high quality hiring, training, development, performance review, and succession planning; 6. Build an institution recognized for its collaborative efforts between and among programs, schools, colleges, campuses, and universities;

The following is a quote from the Strategic Plan: The University will continuously enhance its capacity to meet the changing needs of Alaska’s people and work through core programs as well as creative, entrepreneurial arrangements and partnerships to meet those needs. Among the changing conditions affecting the state’s needs are continued rapid population growth in Anchorage and surrounding communities, the need for economic diversification, particularly in rural Alaska, and uncertainty regarding the state’s ability to provide for its own economic future.
