In line with the University’s mission and goals, Kent State Athletics is Student-athlete centered, Coach led and Administrator supported
The eight priority areas are the foundation of Kent State’s strategic plan. Each priority area has an overall objective, two-to-three goals, strategies to achieve each goal and action items to implement the strategies. This all builds to a strategic plan that will allow us to fulfill our mission and accomplish our vision.
The intentional and collaborative process of creating the strategic plan involved more than 80 individuals from across campus and the community. A debt of gratitude is owed to our senior leadership team that oversaw the development of the strategic plan and the chairs and members of the eight priority area working groups. The hard work and dedication of these individuals has been paramount to the completion of this plan and these individuals will continue to be a driving force in the implementation of the plan.
