This is more of a goal that reality. Clearly this is tied to UofM goal to increase reaearch funding by $50-100M in 10yrs. The net, net is a 3 Pringles strategy to advance UofM reputation, experience.
- Academics:
Facilities - BioHub, School of Nursing/Audiology, and Expansion (FCBE renovation)
Research - Goal to increase $50-100M in 10yr
Faculty - linked to above. Recruit, retain top tier teachers
- Athletics:
Facilities - BBall, FBall, Track, Softball ongoing construction
Infrastructure - training table, apparel contracts, media, web assets
Coaching - surplus $$ to lock down good HC, Staff, and recruiting budget
- Campus
Buildings - New Dorm, Rec Ctr, Land Bridge
Infrastructure - more class counseling, better student life programs, internship development, bike program, bus program
Tuition - Frozen, scholarship expansion
***what we are seeing in bits pieces, is a 3 pronged strategy playing out. I'm hopeful that 1 of the 2 next big advancements is an investment in the stated GREEK program. While I did not experience this, I realize the connectivity aspect in all large successful "on campus" instituitions.
