Day by day, week by week, month by month, IUP is on the move.
As this annual report clearly demonstrates, we’re taking strides to be stronger and more efficient and to flourish amid some disruptive times for higher education.
Our progress is guided by our strategic plan and the seven presidential goals, which serve as a blueprint for success. These goals focus on fostering student success, strengthening our academic offerings, expanding our horizons, enhancing inclusivity, engaging with our communities, achieving financial sustainability, supporting research and innovation, and ensuring operational excellence. This cohesive vision has allowed us not only to navigate challenges but to turn them into opportunities for growth.
Throughout 2024, IUP demonstrated resilience, creativity, and a steadfast commitment to providing exceptional education and shaping future leaders. From groundbreaking partnerships to transformative research and meaningful community engagement, this year’s achievements reflect the extraordinary efforts of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters.
As you explore this report, you will see the tangible outcomes of our shared work. The stories and accomplishments detailed here, month by month, illustrate a university that is not standing still, but driving forward with purpose and determination. Whether it is the establishment of new clinical training sites for our proposed college of osteopathic medicine, the national recognition of our students and faculty, or the ongoing enhancement of our campus facilities, IUP is a university in motion—moving confidently toward a brighter future.
None of this progress would be possible without the support and dedication of the entire IUP community. That unwavering belief in IUP’s mission fuels our momentum and inspires us to reach even greater heights.
Thank you for your continued support of IUP. Here’s to our shared success and to an even brighter tomorrow.
