Southern Connecticut State University looks to the future with a renewed sense of commitment to elevating educational attainment in our region and the state. We will achieve that with academic programs that confront the most pressing environmental and health issues through innovative research, and cultivating a community of entrepreneurial and inventive leaders and educators for Connecticut’s workforce.
Elevating students beyond their current socio-economic status is at the heart of Southern’s academic mission. Our goals for the next five years are focused on engaging new and previously underserved learner communities, recruiting and retaining talented diverse faculty and staff, and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students.
