"This core strategy seeks to reinforce the university's foundation and make everything we do and aspire to do possible. In this area, we've identified various actions that will maximize our limited resources and explore new resources to address essential needs for personnel and operations."

"The Artpreneur grants underscore an important aspect of the training at UNCSA, which is to unlock the creative potential of our student-artists. The incredible alumni and students receiving these grants this year represent the boundless possibilities for an arts education at UNCSA."

"I believe by focusing on these kinds of initiatives, we will remain in the vanguard of the arts and entertainment industry and provide a new level of opportunities for our students."

"I want UNCSA to be a place where being the best artist you can be is not mutually exclusive from becoming your best self. And I want UNCSA to be a leader in developing industrywide changes that focus on putting the well-being of artists first."

"I'm excited about where we have landed at the end of this process. Guided by leadership vision, this strategic plan will chart the course for our exciting journey toward the future of UNCSA, and will help our institution be the best it can be."

"I am incredibly grateful for the work that continues to be done toward EDIB at this university and the dedication that many of you have demonstrated in achieving our goals."
