FRIENDS & VISITORS

IUGB has come a long way from its origins as a collaoration between educators in Côte d'Ivoire and Georgia State University. Now, although IUGB still benefits from its relationship with an American university, it has become an established institution in its own right, making great strides in enrollment, attracting high quality faculty and staff, expanding its physical plant and moving toward financial autonomy.

While IUGB's current acreage and facilities with planned enhancements are adequate for its immediate needs, within five years the University hopes to occupy facilities on its 150-acre site in Grand-Bassam and increase its enrollment to more than 1,000.

GOALS

Moving forward and building on its progress, the IUGB Board of Directors, administration, faculty, staff and students will focus on the following strategic goals for 2009-2014 :

Goal 1: Delivering high quality, relevant education and establishing IUGB as a Regional Center of Excellence.

Goal 2: Establishing a strong and effective governing structure that will ensure transparency and accountability.

Goal 3: Recruiting and retaining a diverse student population.

Goal 4: Securing and properly utilizing the financial resources necessary to sustain the students, faculty, staff and operations of IUGB.

Goal 5: Establishing collaborative partnerships with both local and international institutions and organizations.

Goal 6: Engaging in outreach programs and services to the local community.
