Introduction

The Closeout Report documents the University of the Virgin Islands' (UVI) accomplishments as prescribed by the 2000-2005 Strategic Plan. There are 18 Strategic Thrusts embedded in the Plan.

A majority of the performance criteria were achieved, and in those cases where a criterion was not achieved, an explanation of the circumstances is provided. Some objectives that were not achieved will be included in the University's 2006-2012 strategic plan, referred to as VISION 2012. It is important to note that official implementation of the Plan, including tracking of progress, was not begun until June 2002 following approval by the Board of Trustees.

The 2000-2005 Strategic Plan has been a learning experience for the University. This process has been characterized by full participation and collaboration at every level. While the cooperative completion of objectives has been important, there have been lessons learned and growth experienced that should also be fully acknowledged.
