Defining a Path Forward for Research

Our designation as an R1 Research Institution by the Carnegie Foundation is a clear signal that ODU ranks among the top research institutions in the country. But a big reason this designation is so prestigious is because it must continue to be earned. To remain an R1 institution, we must continue to invest in ODU’s research capabilities.

Accelerating Advances in Health Care

The last few years showed everyone just how vital a role healthcare plays for any region. They also revealed some of our healthcare system’s problems. So, in 2021 it was only natural that ODU bolstered collaborative efforts in this space with regional partners such as Eastern Virginia Medical School, Sentara Healthcare and Norfolk State University.

Special Projects

For ODU’s campus to mirror the high-quality education we provide students we will seek to offer a bright and welcoming atmosphere full of great sight lines, and inviting first impressions. One thing that every visitor to campus should think is that ODU is clearly a world-class institution. Projects like the new Data Science Building, new Alumni Center and improvements to the Library are critical to life on campus.
