Strategic Plan

The goal of our strategic plan, Advancing Greatness, is to provide the road map to move the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry to even higher levels of national and international prominence.

A new Strategic Planning Writing Group, announced in October 2011, is working to facilitate an update of the school's strategic plan. In January 2007, Dean Patrick J. Ferrillo, Jr. charged the first Strategic Planning Writing Group to assist the school in developing a strategic plan for the next five to seven years. Four years after implementation began, the school is now ready to update its strategic plan in significant ways.

The Writing Group will utilize input from faculty, students, staff, University administrators, alumni, patients and all major stakeholders as it updates the plan. Please look for more communication from the Writing Group as it moves forward with this important project. Additional background and archives of the work of the previous Writing Group and Implementation Planning Task Force are included in documents linked in this section of the website.

For more information about the process to update the plan, or to share your ideas with the Strategic Planning Writing Group, please contact Dr. Parag Kachalia, Writing Group Chair, at pkachalia@pacific.edu.

In addition to the Dugoni School's strategic plan updates, University of the Pacific is currently undergoing a university-wide strategic plan update as well. You can learn more about the process, past and future meetings, working groups and involvement opportunities by visiting the Strategic Planning page of the University's web site or by viewing recent newsletters from the Office of the Provost.
