Caret led a mid-term update of the plan.

“The ´óÄ̸£Àû¼§through 2020: A Renewed Vision for Powering Maryland Forward” revises several original goals and creates a new initiative to support campus equity, diversity, inclusion and civic engagement.  This update precedes the development of a new strategic framework, which is expected to be unveiled in 2020.  An overview of USM’s progress toward meeting its revised goals can be found here.
