What is SPH2020? At UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, we anticipate the future so we can accelerate positive changes in the public’s health. We are committed that, in 2020, our departments will continue to be known for excellence in research, teaching, service and practice; the School will be a center for public health innovation; and together we will solve big public health challenges across North Carolina and around the world. We do not just let the future happen. We create it. That is what SPH2020 is about. SPH2020 is our guide, where we imagine and express our future and follow through on action plans to achieve our goals. ‘We’ includes faculty, staff, students, alumni, members of our leadership boards and others who care about our school. We are the many who guided creation of SPH2020 and who transform these dreams to reality. SPH2020 is a living process, and we are committed to sharing our progress. We welcome your participation in this journey!

In 2010, faculty, staff, students and friends shared their knowledge, ideas, and aspirations on what our School should be like in 2020. We cast a wide net, seeking participation through online and in-person meetings, focus groups, and surveys. We prescribed no categories, allowing all to imagine our future without constraint. From this process, we created a map of what our community wanted the School to be in 2020. That map was to be a vision of what we must be in order to do what we must do.

Priorities
With the recession in full swing, and with constrained resources, we had to choose priorities with care and with respect for time and effort. We agreed on a 10-year time-frame. Our SPH is decentralized; and our approach reflected that.
A thoughtful, iterative process ensued. In 2011, we appointed four task forces, diverse in rank, roles, ethnicity, disciplines, departments and more, to map the way forward. Each task force prioritized goals and estimated resources.
