What are the challenges for the university’s strategic plan?

• To attract and retain research-active educators who will improve the University's academic performance;
• To invest in information technologies which can promote our education, research and administration; and
• To measure, contain and offset our impact on the environment.

What is our strength?
• Our Name;
• Our City;
• Our Location;
• Our People;
• Our Supporters (including alumni who are leaders in important department or agencies and the professions, local and overseas);
