Our Strategic Action Plans
Realizing the vision of K-State 2025 requires an institutional commitment to planning and holding ourselves accountable at all levels. Following completion of the K-State 2025 Visionary Plan in 2011, an ambitious planning initiative was launched to align college/major units and departmental planning with university planning.
All completed K-State 2025 university, college/major unit, and associated departmental strategic action plans are available here. K-State 2025 is supported by all our aligned plans together.
Read about our progress on these plans between 2011 and 2021.
