M. BRIAN BLAKE
A new strategic planning process is taking place at Georgia State, and there are new initiatves currently underway to enhance the future of the university. Learn more about President Blake's immediate initiatives.
It’s my favorite time of year in higher education. It’s the time of year when our incredible graduates share out their own amazing photos in caps and gowns, telling us where they’re headed with their Georgia State degrees: Fortune 500 companies, graduate school or starting their own business. We also invited a former student back home to Georgia State to receive an honorary degree. Chris Bridges, aka, Ludacris.
We recently reached out with updates to our presidential initiatives and are excited to now bring you an update on the university’s strategic planning process. As you know, we are basing our strategic planning visioning around four key pillars: placemaking and identity, student success, research and innovation and college to career. We have assembled a diverse group of leaders representing every college and other critical areas at Georgia State to move our strategic planning process forward.

Our New Strategic Plan
As we begin a new strategic planning process at Georgia State, it’s a time to explore and discuss how the university can become an even stronger institution. As a result of our previous plan, Georgia State has made significant strides in many areas including supporting students and increasing graduation rates for all undergraduates, raising the level of research funding, and establishing new structures and programs that have launched academic excellence and culture. But we have not reached our full potential! Under the leadership of President M. Brian Blake, and with the talent and commitment of faculty and staff, we will draft a new plan using an inclusive and engaged process. As a premier urban research university, we have a crucial purpose within our state and beyond. With thoughts and voices from everyone in our university community, we will draft a strategic plan that provides a foundation for us to move Georgia State into the next decade of excellence.
