USF Strategic Imperatives

During her 2004 fall address, President Judy Genshaft challenged the University community to help make the University of South Florida one of the top 50 public research universities in the United States. To accomplish this goal, she defined 18 strategic imperatives to guide the University to higher levels of performance.

Strategic imperatives were carefully selected to conform to measures reported by the Top American Research Universities (TARU), used by the American Association of Universities (AAU) for membership eligibility; and adopted by the Florida Board of Governors (FBOG) to guide the Florida State University System.

The imperatives, performance results, and goals defined on this page are presented here consistent with reporting periods used by the TARU and/or the FBOG. In some instances, performance results are for periods up to two years prior to the reporting period.
