Dramatic disruptions are shaping each area of endeavor at the U: education, research, health care, innovation, and athletics. Weathering disruptions and leveraging opportunities requires bold decision-making. The Roadmap to Our New Century is driven by our capacity for resilience and renewal in the face of unprecedented changes. Built upon our foundation of operational efficiency, financial sustainability, and belonging, how we carry out our mission underscores all our areas of endeavor: our Academic Core, Health Care, Tech Innovation, and Athletics. While the four pillars are distinct, they are interconnected aspects of who we are. Success in one supports, enhances, and helps drive success in others.
