A University On the Rise: Five-Year Progress Report

A private technology research university led by Dr. Nariman Farvardin, a determined president with a vision for excellence, Stevens Institute of Technology is experiencing unprecedented growth and accelerating success.

During his first year as President, Dr. Farvardin brought the entire university community together to chart a strategic course for the university’s future. By engaging the community in a concerted, transparent planning exercise, a sense of ownership, purpose and destination began to take hold. During the five years since, the disciplined implementation of this strategic plan – requiring high levels of cross-functional engagement, re-envisioned objectives, clear metrics and regular reporting – has kept the university on course, charging forward with a shared vision. Milestone tracking and specific metrics reveal a university that has experienced a turnaround during that five-year period – a university on the rise, in an increasingly competitive higher education environment.
