In 1997, the San Diego State community engaged in a campuswide discussion designed to articulate and establish our current and future priorities. This exercise of shared governance enabled faculty, staff and students to create a “Shared Vision” for the future growth of SDSU.

The final "Shared Vision" document highlights five goals:

• Enhance our commitment to academic excellence
• Nurture a learning-centered university
• Create a community proud of its diversity and committed to social justice
• Promote the growth, development and wise use of use of resources
• Create a genuinely global university
