Strategic Framework
The areas framing our strategic plan fall into three distinct categories
Over the next five years, the University will address three key areas of activity: (i) Foundational commitments, which involve making important ongoing improvements to institutional processes that enhance the groundwork for transformative practice, (ii) Strategic priorities, which will focus on six institutional practices that are critical to our mission, and (iii) Strategic opportunities, which outline a framework for the identification, development, and implementation of ambitious cross-institutional initiatives. Efforts to advance all three areas of activity will enrich and expand the University’s context of opportunity and better integrate our collective strengths, commitments, and efforts in the service and leadership of regionally and globally engaged inquiry, learning, scholarship, creative activity, and research.
Foundational Commitments
Improvements to institutional practices and processes to advance our institutional mission and enhance student experience and success. Addressing these challenges will create an environment where people and opportunity flourish, and will support the achievement of strategic priorities.
Strategic Priorities
Transformative priorities within specific areas of institutional practice that will help us further our mission, achieve our vision, live our values, and capitalize on our untapped potential.
Strategic Opportunities
Criteria and processes for framing ambitious, inter-disciplinary opportunities that have transformative potential and that integrate activities from multiple strategic priorities to create opportunities for regional, provincial, and national leadership.
