Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education will serve the commonwealth ever more effectively as a dynamic, technologically advanced, integrated network of publicly owned universities focused on learning. The state system will be accessible to students from diverse backgrounds, accountable to its many constituencies, and actively engaged in the continuous improvement of its programs, services, faculty and staff. Above all, the state system will prepare students to succeed in the global economy, to contribute to the economic and social well being of the state and nation, to play constructive roles in their communities and to lead productive and meaningful lives.
