- Make the case for CU with the state and reconceive CU's international role
- Align all elements of governance: regents, system and campuses
- Shine light on areas of success and need
- Answer intractable challenges
Conversations and collaboration with many stakeholders have been considered key to the strategic planning process鈥攊ncluding working with the Board of Regents, baby直播app, students and staff, campus chancellors and their teams, and the broader CU community.

- Access, affordability, and student success
