Strategic Plan
The Office of Instruction's 2025 Stategic Plan seeks to enhance teaching and learning across campus in order to equip a well-prepared and diverse student body for academic success and lifelong learning.
Our strategic plan comprises eight unit-level goals—six aligned with the University’s Strategic Direction I and two with Strategic Direction II. The intent behind all these goals is to challenge, engage, and support our high performing, academically strong student body to achieve their highest aspirations. These goals also aim to foster a diverse, inclusive and equitable learning environment across the University by delivering holistic resources to the entire community and targeted resources to support students from underserved and underrepresented populations.
Mission
The University of Georgia, a land-grant and sea-grant university with statewide commitments
and responsibilities, is the state’s oldest, most comprehensive, and most diversified
institution of higher education. Its motto, “to teach, to serve, and to inquire into
the nature of things,” reflects the University’s integral and unique role in the conservation
and enhancement of the state’s and nation’s intellectual, cultural, and environmental
heritage. The Office of Instruction provides critical student academic services, from
recruitment through graduation as well as faculty support related to teaching and
curricular matters. It is charged with empowering instructors and students to enhance
the teaching and learning environment across campus, to champion new ideas and methods
for teaching and learning, and to prepare students to understand and navigate the
global world in which they live, work, and learn. The Office of Instruction is responsible
for a wide range of initiatives that advance the University of Georgia as a national
leader and as a preeminent, global university.
Values
In pursuit of this mission, the Office of Instruction values academic success, embraces innovation and entrepreneurship in teaching and learning, strives to enhance learning through curricular and co-curricular efforts, promotes an inclusive and equitable environment for teaching and learning, and makes data-informed decisions.
Vision
The vision of the Office of Instruction is to provide a holistic student success program for all students, to be a recognized leader in the science and practice of experiential learning, to promote evidence-based pedagogies as widely as possible across campus, and to be a catalyst for innovation and entrepreneurship in teaching and learning.
