Strategy 7 - Rationale

Provide a student-centered, user-friendly administrative and service infrastructure.

USF has experienced rapid growth in virtually every facet of university operations: student enrollment, breadth of academic programs, research programs, and community outreach activities. Improved support services and expanded infrastructure is necessary to sustain the activities of our current faculty, staff, and students as well as to address future growth and development. Major investments in technology and re-engineered business processes have been pursued as a means to rapidly improve the wide range of university support services. These infrastructure enhancements will improve the efficiency and effectiveness across all functional areas of the university while supporting the teaching, research and service mission.
