2025 University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Mission Statement The University of Illinois Urbana­-Champaign is charged by our state to enhance the lives of people in Illinois, across the nation, and around the world through our leadership in learning, discovery, engagement, and economic development.
Program Goals and Objectives
  1. Foster scholarship, discovery, and innovation.
    1. Scholarship, discovery, and innovation are at the heart of Illinois; local, national, and global impact.
  2. We will drive new frontiers by attracting and retaining a diverse group of faculty, students, and staff endowed with creativity and intellectual depth and breadth. Modern infrastructures, streamlined processes, and enriched interdisciplinary and convergent work will advance the university’s mission. Provide transformative learning experiences.
    1. Illinois will deliver on the fundamental promise of a public university – to teach students and to pioneer the science and the art of learning. We aim to create transformative knowledge – for the individual and, collectively, for the world in which we live and work.
  3. Make a significant and visible societal impact.
    1. When the core foundations of discovery combine with transformative learning and teaching, the outcomes are no longer measured simply in degrees or citations. They are seen in how the world is changed for the better through contact with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The university lives up to its land-grant mission in many ways, and we will better organize, enrich, and value these contributions as we reach out to our local, regional, national, and global communities.
  4. Steward current resources and generate additional resources for strategic initiatives.
    1. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has stewarded its land-grant mission and accompanying financial, human, technology, and infrastructure resources while tackling significant budgetary challenges. We need to continue to refine, coordinate, and structure our financial framework to manage all of our resources effectively and develop new lines of revenue to support our human resources, infrastructure, operating budget, and strategic initiatives. To create this framework, we must streamline our processes, reduce redundancies, and improve the quality and quantity of services throughout campus.
