Together, they add to a history of achievement at our three universities that has helped drive progress for generations, producing the talent, discovery, and innovation of tomorrow. They underscore our long-cherished and deep commitment to opening doors of opportunity for students. We are also proud of our continuing commitment to access and affordability, through a four-year in-state tuition freeze that has helped increased system-wide enrollment to record highs. Still, it is said that the road to excellence is always under construction, so we never stop working to break new ground and expand our vital contributions to the public good. Our efforts are guided by a Strategic Framework that charts an ambitious roadmap to make the U of I System a global model for the very best in research-intensive higher education – from the arts and humanities to technology and healthcare. This report examines some of the important work rooted in the framework that is underway at our universities in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield, and at UI Health. It includes a look at plans for a world-class innovation center that will enhance learning and massively accelerate economic growth in Illinois and beyond. It summarizes a new set of guiding principles that have been developed to help steer us through thorny issues currently facing our nation’s colleges and universities.
