Poorvu Center Strategic Plan (2025-28)

This 2025 - 2028 strategic plan is the culmination of thoughtful insights from students, faculty, and partners across Yale.  Throughout the strategic planning process, we evaluated every area of our Center.  Instructors, students, university leaders, administrators, and staff were actively engaged in the process, and their valuable feedback played a crucial role in shaping this plan.
