Part II. Delivering the Promises

The Future Steps

Promise 1. The great University will be recognized for the excellence of its undergraduate and graduate programs, and of its faculty and research contributions at the level of its peers. It will be ranked among the top 10 public research universities in the nation.

Promise 2. Affordable access for highly qualified students means that no resident student who is admitted will be unable to attend, or will have to leave before completing the degree, as a result of the University cost or the weight of excessive debt. Our goal is to decrease the unmet financial need of resident students over the next four years by 20% from the FY05 level.

These goals are within our reach but to attain them requires commitment by all partners: the University, the State, the University System of Maryland, and our alumni and friends. No single partner can deliver these promises alone, not the University, not the State, and not the alumni. Only by coming together can they achieve the State's 1988 mandate to build the great University.
