The Boldly IT strategic plan launched in August 2025. Boldly IT challenges us to create a campuswide vision for IT based on equitable access to IT resources for all our users; putting people first; and an IT community that is distinguished by its commitment to change and growth.
Illinois’ strategic framework
Boldly Illinois 2030, the University’s strategic framework, is based upon three values.
- Collaboration to solve problems and promote understanding
- Authentic inclusion to build community
- Empowerment to enable individuals to be successful.
To support and enable the University’s bold future, the IT community is embracing these values to build a campuswide technology strategy. We encourage you to participate and look forward to your input and feedback.
