Serving Colorado, Engaged in the World
The University of Colorado at Boulder will become a leading model of the "new flagship university" of the 21st century—by redefining learning and discovery in a global context and setting new standards in education, research, scholarship, and creative work that will benefit Colorado and the world. The Flagship 2030 strategic plan will serve as a long-term model for CU-Boulder to become the "new flagship university" of the 21st century. The plan will position the university for global leadership in education, research, and creative works by the year 2030.
The progress made on the Flagship 2030 strategic plan is remarkable not only in its breadth and scope but also in terms of the involvement of the university community. The nine Flagship 2030 task forces worked diligently throughout the summer to prepare implementationaction plans by September. The full plan and updates can be found at: www.colorado.edu/flagship2030
