In fall 2025, NKU launched its new strategic plan for 2025–2028. The planning process began in spring 2024, and Forward Together was presented to the Board of Regents in June 2025.
Forward Together builds on a unified vision to advance student success, empower our employees, and strengthen our region through collaboration and innovation. Our core values reflect this vision as we foster a community of belonging—one in which individuals are valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. Thank you for your work, your ideas, and your collective innovation as we refine this strategy and continue the student-centered, regionally engaged work of our great university.
Please visit the strategic plan website for more information on implementation progress and key performance indicators.
