The overriding mission of current campus leadership is improving the quality and health of the campus. This will be accomplished through strategic goals such as reshaping and growing enrollment, increasing faculty, and growing the campus' research, scholarship and creative activity.

The Assistant Vice Chancellor guides the development of a strategic, integrated approach to the planning of facilities to meet the continually evolving needs of the University. Such facilities need to be responsive to contemporary teaching, research, learning, living, and working needs of the University's faculty, students and staff, while also being planned and delivered in ways that are timely, cost-effective, reliable, sustainable, and legally compliant.
