This university is extraordinary. It's one of our state's most precious and best tools for making a difference in creating positive futures. But it is also fragile. Without continued investment, and even increasing investment from the state, without a willingness to give us the flexibility to be nimble and seize opportunity, without the support of the UW system to preserve and build our excellence, we risk a slow decline. There is an amazing vision of our future where education, research and outreach all flourish in an innovation equity ecosystem built on partnerships that are broad and deep to the benefit of our students, our university and our whole state.
