At Northern Kentucky University, we believe our future is shaped by our shared commitment to purpose and the power of our people. Forward Together reflects a unified vision to advance student success, empower our employees, and strengthen our region through collaboration and innovation. Rooted in our values and inspired by the communities we serve, this strategic plan sets a clear course for the years ahead—focused on expanding opportunity, fostering belonging, and driving meaningful impact.

Together, we move forward!

As we move Forward Together, we invite you to mark your calendars for our upcoming Strategic Planning Summit following President Short-Thompson's Fall Convocation. During this gathering, we hope to build shared ownership of the new strategic plan, spark cross-divisional collaboration, and deepen understanding of our strategic priorities for the next three years.
