This Strategic Plan outlines the Indiana University CRM Initiative, aiming to establish a unified customer relationship management platform across the institution. Key objectives include enhancing engagement, reducing data redundancy, ensuring data security, and fostering a 'One IU' experience for constituents. The initiative leverages Salesforce products and has already achieved significant milestones in marketing/communications, undergraduate admissions, university HR, and graduate school adoption. Future efforts are directed towards graduate recruitment, SMS/text capabilities, foundational system improvements, and external relations integration.

This strategic plan, centered around the Indiana University Lab (IU LAB), aims to establish Indiana as a national and global leader in bioscience innovation, discovery, commercialization, and talent development. Key strategic pillars include strengthening the state's life science ecosystem, accelerating the commercialization of innovative solutions, fostering collaboration between academia and industry in critical health areas like devices, Alzheimer's, and diabetes, and cultivating the next generation of bioscience leaders and entrepreneurs. The initiative leverages IU's research enterprise and a significant grant to train students and power tomorrow's workforce, with IU LAB expected to open in 2027.

The strategic plan for Indiana University, developed by the Office of the Vice President for International Affairs (OVPIA), outlines a comprehensive framework to advance global engagement from 2020 to 2025. It focuses on five strategic priorities: leveraging the Global Gateway Network and international partnerships; integrating internationalization into campus life; enhancing the visibility and communication of global engagement; improving accessibility and inclusiveness in international education; and developing philanthropic and financial support for these initiatives. The plan aims to position the university effectively in a complex global environment by fostering international knowledge and experience for its students, faculty, and staff.
