Our Leaders
Strategic Plan 2032 is guided by an Executive Committee responsible for providing leadership, oversight and strategic direction throughout the planning process.
We are incredibly honored to serve as the co-chairs for the development of VCU’s new strategic plan. This responsibility is a privilege, primarily because it gives us the opportunity to collaborate with all of you to chart VCU’s next great chapter.
