Strategic Area of Focus:
Institutional Improvement

GOALS: Insure that the strategic goals and objectives are met by enhancing the capacity of the University to achieve results.

Paths to Enhancement and Improvement

Improving the level of excellence in education at UVI requires that we put in place new and streamlined processes for improving the institution as a whole. Over the next several years, we will reward superior performance and foster individual and group success through advancement of compensation strategies and investment in training, professional development, and cross-functional activities. To make this a more "customer-focused" institution, we will work to enhance customer service delivery and improve operational results through redesigning administrative and educational processes.

Good communication depends on good information flow, and is part of our effort to improve our institutional systems. To that end, we will be enhancing the University-wide information and data flow by upgrading internal communications infrastructure systems. Also, to optimize the successful implementation of VISION 2012, we will develop an integrated planning, assessment, and evaluation system. With improved communications systems, we will vigorously promote the image and reputation of the University. This will also provide us with new opportunities for strengthening relationships with alumni and alumni association chapters through outreach, support, and education.

"I'm a Crucian, and I come from this community. UVI is important to me because this is my culture and my home. Over the next decade, the University will help the Territory grow as it adds more community-based programs that bring students to the college before they have to make their final decisions about higher education... and not just students from the Virgin Islands, but from throughout the Caribbean and the mainland, as well."
