Texas Tech’s 2025-30 Strategic Plan — an outline designed to shape the university’s growth and priorities over the next five years — was released in an email Monday afternoon.
The plan was shaped by months of feedback from students, faculty and staff, according to the email. It lays out goals to boost the academic quality, grow research and creative projects, improve the overall student experience and build stronger community ties.
The vision lays out the groundwork for Tech’s path to becoming a member of the Association of American Universities, an organization that includes the country’s top research universities. Joining the AAU would be a step in raising Tech’s national research profile and expanding opportunities for students and faculty.
The success of this effort relies on the “creativity, dedication and collaboration” of the whole Red Raider community, according to Monday’s email sent by Tech President Lawrence Schovanec and Provost Ron Hendrick.
The plan outlines strategic priorities to educate and empower a dynamic student body, develop and promote innovative research and creative activities and transform lives and communities through outreach and engaged scholarship, according to the Tech Strategic Plan website.
The Tech Strategic Plan website lists key performance indicators and initiatives under the priorities, highlighting how the university plans to reach its targets, according to the Strategic Plan website.
