UM Playbook Project Reports
Projects are how we turn goals into real change. This year's UM Annual Playbook includes 26 projects driving progress towards seven key objectives. Throughout spring 2026 we will publish project reports that share the intent of the project, why it's important, and progress made this fiscal year. The reports will be organized by the seven objectives.
