Growth & Sustainability
We will strengthen overall enrollment by stabilizing undergraduate enrollment, increasing graduate enrollment in select areas, and creating a new division called UIndy Online and Sease Institute to support a wide range of programs that respond to the needs of post-traditional learners seeking degree programs, credentials, executive education, and stackable certificates. Additionally we will increase student retention and success rates, while focusing on improved campus life.
Stewarding & Fostering University Resources
Streamlining Financial Operations
By implementing prudent financial management practices and creating new revenue streams, we aim to create a resilient financial foundation that can weather economic fluctuations and unforeseen challenges, and ensure that resources are allocated strategically and aligned with our institutional priorities.
Fund & Friendraising
We will strive to create a culture of philanthropy that transcends transactional exchanges, establishing enduring partnerships that withstand the test of time. Our goal is to ensure that our philanthropic efforts support our mission as well as our aspirations.
Connected to the World
The University of Indianapolis will enhance its global presence and engagement by creating more high-impact opportunities for our learners through study and service abroad and by increasing international student enrollment to further strengthen our global footprint.
An Engine for Growth & Driving Change
We will work with local industry, government, and not-for-profit organizations to create mutually beneficial programs that bridge the gap between academia and industry. We will collaborate with community organizations on grant opportunities that support workforce development for the south side by offering market-valued academic credentials and degree completion options, and assistance to small business entrepreneurs.
People & Place
The University of Indianapolis is committed to investing in our people and strengthening our organizational culture to create an environment that fosters innovation, collaboration, and personal growth, and to ensuring that our physical infrastructure reflects the excellence of our educational offerings and provides an inspiring and welcoming space for all members of our diverse community.

We will leverage the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics to support key initiatives such as enrollment sustainability, revenue generation, and community engagement.
Telling Our Story
Our stories must capture our mission as a university that champions lifelong learning through relevant and innovative education, experiential learning, diverse perspectives, service for impact, and a global mindset. Through targeted initiatives and meaningful engagements, we aspire to create a distinctive positioning that clearly connects these ideas with our value proposition and communications strategy. The affirmation of our institutional identity must also be reflected in our stories.
