We Are Jayhawks Rising

As a member of the KU community, you are part of Jayhawks Rising.

Jayhawks Rising is our strategic plan, the result of a highly engaging, multi-year planning process involving many groups and individuals. It is now in the implementation phase and includes dozens of strategies designed to advance us toward our vision to be an exceptional learning community that lifts each member and advances society.

The three mission-based institutional priorities for Jayhawks Rising are Student Success, Healthy & Vibrant Communities, and Research & Discovery. Thirteen objectives were identified under the three priorities. Each objective has co-leaders – deans and vice provosts with responsibilities tied to the objective – who will guide our efforts, involve stakeholders and lead implementation of strategies and action steps and help ensure continuous progress and success.
