About the Office

The Office of University Strategy works across the various chancellor-led and operational units and helps to execute plans that move the institution forward. The office is responsible for managing:
 
Institutional Challenges: The office identifies institutional challenges and develops a process for elevating and analyzing these critical issues. In coordination with chancellors and other university leaders, the office develops and helps execute plans for addressing these priority areas and ensures accountability by monitoring efforts across the university to address the institution’s most pressing challenges.
 
Strategic Planning: The office is tasked with coordinating cross-cutting, inclusive strategic planning efforts at Rutgers. This includes convening discussions, gathering relevant data, and seeking input to inform university-level strategic initiatives and working with departments, schools, and centers across Rutgers on unit-level strategic planning.
 
Special Projects: The office undertakes urgent, short-term initiatives that may include institutional analyses, implementation of key presidential priorities, or reviews and assessments of units or operational areas of the university.

In addition to the Office of University Strategy’s project-based work, the office also serves as the administrative home for two universitywide units: the Rutgers Center for Organizational Leadership and the Office of Climate Action.
