About the Plan Recommendations

UCLA's centennial in 2019 will celebrate the past, but look to the future. UCLA academic and administrative leadership met in 2015 to identify strategic themes for the campus. These themes provided the foundation for formulating a Strategic Plan to guide the campus into its second century.

This website was launched to share task force recommendations and solicit feedback from the campus community. Senior leadership met in March 2018 to review the recommendations and public feedback, and suggested consolidating the Global Outreach and Civic Engagement areas.
