Measures of Success
As we move forward together, we must steadfastly measure our success, recognize our accomplishments and monitor and report our progress. This starts with an institutional commitment to holding ourselves accountable to this plan and our collective future.
Next-Gen K-State Measures of Success Dashboard
One way we will hold ourselves accountable is through tracking progress on key measures of success. Seventeen key metrics were selected to measure our progress to achieve our strategic imperative goals. In some cases, we have set targets that will become more precise as we better understand underlying data and trends. In others, we must first establish a baseline for setting targets upon which we can track progress.
To learn more about our university strategic plan metrics for success, view our Next-Gen K-State dashboard.
Here you will find baseline data, the most recent annual data as reported by the university for each measure, our 2025 and 2030 performance targets, links to our strategic imperatives, and detailed operational definitions for each metric with source information.
