It is your day-to-day efforts over the next five years that will bring Transforming Tomorrow Together to life and put the transformative power of higher education to work for our students and in our community. I am grateful to my fellow steering committee and task force members for their commitment and dedication to the planning process, and to all of you whose voices and points of view informed our work. I look forward to continued collaboration as we implement the plan and to celebrating our successes together in 2026.
