Pittsburg State University will be positioned to anticipate, respond to, and capitalize on opportunities.
The pace, scope, and depth of change in higher education will continue to increase, and the need for innovation to address the world’s needs and challenges will continue to grow. New opportunities through which Pittsburg State can apply its existing expertise and develop new competencies are emerging regularly. In order to take the best advantage of these prospects—both those we expect and ones that are impossible to predict, save the fact that they will emerge—the University must be in a position to react efficiently, effectively, and convincingly. It must be both nimble and resilient.
