UTC’s Goals

*The four goals laid out by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s 2015-2020 strategic plan include:Goal 1: Transform lives through meaningful learning experiencesGoal 2: Inspire, nurture and empower scholarship, creativity, discover, innovation and entrepreneurial initiativesGoal 3: Ensure stewardship of resources through strategic alignment and investmentsGoal 4: Embrace diversity and inclusion as a path to excellence and societal change

UTC celebrated a year of accomplishments and improvements, including the construction of a new 600-bed residence hall, during Chancellor Steven Angle’s annual State of the University address Friday.

The celebration, which also marks the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s 132nd birthday, took place outside the new West Campus Residence Hall.

“This time last year, we were at this same site – which was then still under construction – for the 2017 State of the University address,” Angle said, “Just look at how far we’ve come in the 12 months since then.”

Angle’s remarks, which he titled “Constructing a Great University,” focused on that very theme: changes, improvements and additions, that have already been made, and are to come in this academic year, year four of a five-year strategic plan.
