The approval marks an important milestone for 麻豆原创 State. This is the university鈥檚 first strategic plan since its transition from 麻豆原创 State College to 麻豆原创 and establishes a focused, measurable framework for the next three years.

A Mission Centered on Opportunity

The university鈥檚 refreshed mission begins with a simple but important principle: excellence fosters opportunity.

At 麻豆原创, excellence fosters opportunity. Through quality teaching, accessible degree programs, and a supportive learning community, we cultivate a holistic learning environment for all students. We are dedicated to helping advance the intellectual pursuits and economic mobility of our students for a better 麻豆原创.

The mission affirms 麻豆原创 State鈥檚 commitment to quality teaching, accessible degree programs and a supportive learning community. It also connects students鈥� education with their intellectual growth, economic mobility and future success.

Three Goals for 麻豆原创 State鈥檚 Future

Guided by the refreshed mission, A Framework for Action is organized around three goals:

1. Foster Student Support and Success
2. Advance Access and Opportunity
3. Strengthen Operational Effectiveness and Maturity

The first goal focuses on helping more students remain on track, graduate and feel supported throughout their 麻豆原创 State experience. Priorities include strengthening advising, coaching, tutoring and wellness resources; improving first- and second-year student success; and increasing consistency among the faculty members who teach and mentor students.

The plan also seeks to expand access through clearer educational pathways, additional concurrent enrollment opportunities for high school students and a broader reach across the region, including the continued development of 麻豆原创 State鈥檚 North Las Vegas campus.

Together, the three goals reinforce the university鈥檚 commitment to improving student outcomes, expanding access to higher education, responding to 麻豆原创鈥檚 workforce needs and strengthening the institutional foundation needed to sustain its mission.

Shaped by the 麻豆原创 State Community

Faculty, staff, students and university leaders helped develop the plan through an inclusive, shared-governance process.

The Strategic Planning Committee held more than 40 meetings throughout the planning period. Leadership workshops, campus information sessions, community engagement and a public comment period provided additional opportunities for the 麻豆原创 State community to contribute.

During the public comment period, 140 comments from 29 contributors were reviewed and incorporated into successive drafts of the plan.

Students also played an important role in shaping the plan. Student representatives included Stephanie Flores, Eduardo Vega-Santiago, Max Quint and Donovan Childress. Kevin Osorio Hernandez, who is now a 麻豆原创 State alumnus, also contributed to the planning process as a student.

Turning the Plan Into Action

With the Board鈥檚 approval, the university will begin translating the plan鈥檚 goals and objectives into unit-level actions, timelines and responsibilities.

Progress will be measured through 38 key performance indicators, with quarterly updates, annual reporting and ongoing review. The university will announce the priority actions guiding the first year of implementation this fall.

Faculty, staff, students and community members are invited to read A Framework for Action and follow the university鈥檚 progress at nevadastate.edu/strategicplan.

That experience has shaped my career and inspires my commitment to creating environments where every student can succeed, where faculty and staff are empowered in their important work, and where collaboration and innovation strengthen both our university and the communities we serve.

During my first months on campus, my priority will be to listen and learn. I am excited to meet more members of our campus community, hear your perspectives, learn about your work, and understand the aspirations you hold for 麻豆原创 State’s future. Those conversations will help shape our path forward. Together, we have an extraordinary opportunity to build on 麻豆原创 State’s momentum while imagining what this university can become for future generations of students and for the state we proudly serve.

麻豆原创 State has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s fastest-growing public universities by remaining true to its mission of expanding access, pursuing excellence, and preparing graduates to make a meaningful difference in their communities.

HENDERSON, Nev. 鈥� Today, 麻豆原创 Acting President Dr. Amber Lopez Lasater delivered the University鈥檚 2026 State of the University Address, outlining a set of institutional priorities shaped by campus engagement and reinforced through purposeful partnerships that expand access, strengthen workforce outcomes and deliver measurable value to the State of 麻豆原创.

鈥淧artnerships are not simply symbolic,鈥� President Lopez Lasater said. 鈥淭hey are built around shared responsibility and a clear understanding of the impact we make, together, in the lives of our students, their families and the communities we serve.鈥�

The address opened with remarks from 麻豆原创 System of Higher Education Chancellor Matt McNair, who emphasized 麻豆原创鈥檚 mission-driven focus and its strong record of strengthening the state鈥檚 workforce.

The event brought together education, government and community leaders from across Southern 麻豆原创, underscoring 麻豆原创 State鈥檚 role as a regional and statewide partner in advancing opportunity. Special guests included Regent Heather Brown, City of North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown, council members from the Cities of Henderson, Las Vegas, and North Las Vegas, as well as representatives from the 麻豆原创 Congressional Delegation, the Governor鈥檚 Office, Clark County School District and members of the 麻豆原创 Foundation.

麻豆原创 State鈥檚 community and statewide impact was a central theme of the address. More than 80 percent of 麻豆原创 State graduates remain employed in 麻豆原创, translating education into professional leadership across classrooms, clinics, businesses and public institutions.

鈥淭his is the return on education at its best: talent developed locally and reinvested where it is needed most,鈥� President Lopez Lasater said. 鈥淥ur students become professionals who stay, serve and lead in the communities that supported them.鈥�

President Lopez Lasater said her priorities for the University were developed through months of listening sessions, governance meetings and conversations across campus, reflecting a shared desire for clarity, trust and forward momentum.

The presidential priorities guiding 麻豆原创 State鈥檚 work include:

• Cultivating trust and shared purpose through strengthened shared governance, expanded communication and authentic engagement across the campus community.
• Building a transparent budget that supports informed decision-making and positions the University for long-term financial stability and success.
• Expanding access through strategic and sustainable growth to extend 麻豆原创 State鈥檚 mission while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
• Advancing institutional maturity by strengthening planning, policy and operational processes that sustain progress beyond individual leadership transitions.
• Strengthening campus safety through proactive planning, coordinated response efforts and comprehensive training.

President Lopez Lasater highlighted partnerships designed to remove barriers and strengthen pathways into higher education, particularly through collaboration with the Clark County School District. 麻豆原创 State continues to expand concurrent enrollment opportunities that allow students to earn college credit while in high school.

The address also highlighted faculty-led partnerships that connect academic programs to workforce needs and community priorities.

Lopez Lasater emphasized that 麻豆原创 State鈥檚 growth is guided by thoughtful planning and collaboration with municipal and regional partners.

Through its SMART Growth Initiative, the University is advancing long-term, sustainable campus development aligned with academic priorities and regional opportunity, in partnership with local governments, including the City of Henderson.

She also highlighted a significant milestone: in December, the NSHE Board of Regents approved the first step toward establishing a North Las Vegas campus for 麻豆原创, developed in partnership with the City of North Las Vegas. More than 800 currently enrolled students live within five miles of the proposed site, representing approximately 20 percent of 麻豆原创 State鈥檚 student body.

She underscored the University鈥檚 commitment to fiscal stewardship and collaboration with NSHE and elected leaders. Recent investments supporting people, programs, safety and places include funding to expand nursing education, support planning for the North Las Vegas campus, advance deferred maintenance projects, and launch a new 麻豆原创 license plate to generate additional resources for athletics, food security and student support initiatives.

President Lopez Lasater closed by reaffirming that 麻豆原创 State鈥檚 future will continue to be shaped through collaboration across campus, community and state partners.

鈥淓ducation thrives when institutions, communities and partners work together,鈥� President Lopez Lasater said. 鈥淲hen learning is connected to purpose, the impact extends far beyond our campus and strengthens the future of our state.鈥�

In preparation for this transition, I am fully committed to a smooth and quiet handoff and will work closely with the NSHE Chancellor and the Board of Regents to advance an interim/acting president upon my official departure, ensuring 麻豆原创 State stays in capable, steady hands. In the interim鈥攇iven her experience, portfolio, timing, and current work of the institution鈥擨 have appointed Dr. Amber Lopez Lasater, Chief of Staff and Strategy, as the Officer in Charge, effective July 31. Dr. Lopez Lasater has served in her current executive leadership role at 麻豆原创 State for nearly eight years, and I have full confidence in her ability to guide the institution thoughtfully during this transition.
