Dear Faculty and Staff, 

I am excited to introduce a new website for our strategic visioning initiative, NorthStar.

NorthStar is our guide to operationalizing the Strategic Compass as we seek to position UIS to be a more resilient, adaptable and market-aligned academic institution through strategic, action-focused priorities. This site will be built out further as we make progress on our action items.

Our NorthStar priorities for AY24-25 are:

  1. Academic Portfolio Review & Prioritization
  2. Deficit Reduction
  3. Student Retention

If you were not able to attend our Aug. 22 Kickoff meeting or Oct. 16 employee information session where these priorities were discussed, you can access them from the NorthStar site.

A digital form is available on the site to share feedback on the NorthStar priorities and to ask questions for a future FAQ resource.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our university and the work you do every day. 

Janet
