Our University has established specific goals that will set our Islander students up for academic and professional success, and in turn motivate these bright young minds to reinvest in their communities after graduation. By establishing these goals for our future, we will boost our Islander Impact to the next level:

  • Our top priority will always be the success of our students. We want to ensure their hard work is enough to get them across the graduation stage so they can begin making their impact in our community and beyond. By providing students with the resources they need to fulfill their academic dreams, we are changing their lives and reshaping the future of our community.
  • Islanders have the potential to make dramatic progress on the health of the Gulf of Mexico with the research being conducted at our Harte Research Institute. This crucial research will provide solutions that enhance the sustainability of our beautiful Gulf for all who live, work, and play here.
  • Our Coastal Bend is a diverse, resourceful community brimming with promise, and we want to make sure everyone knows it. By enhancing our community with new facilities for Arts & Media to Islanders Athletics, we can cultivate a greater appeal and continue to attract the best and brightest to our shores.
