Last September, UBC launched a process to refresh its strategic plan in order to better define the university’s long-term vision and establish priorities and actions, largely focused on our academic and research mission, for the next three to five years.
Since then, more than 3,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni and other members of the UBC community have contributed their thoughts, through a series of surveys, workshops, pop-ups and other events and activities.
Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the process. Your input has helped inform the development of a draft 25-year vision for UBC, together with emerging academic and research priorities, that will strengthen our position as one of the world’s leading universities.
As we get close to completing the strategic plan refresh, we are offering an opportunity for the wider UBC community to give input. We are asking for your feedback in relation to what extent you believe the emerging priorities will help advance the university over the next three to five years.
You are invited to complete this survey: https://president.ubc.ca/strategic-plan-refresh-survey. The deadline for responses is April 11, 2025.
Your input will help ensure the final priorities reflect the diverse perspectives of our UBC community. Survey responses will remain anonymous and will be analyzed in aggregate. The data will be used to further refine the priorities.
Looking ahead, we plan to finalize the priorities and actions identified within the plan, with the intention of seeking endorsement from both Senates and the Board of Governors this spring. The final, refreshed strategic plan will be officially launched in the fall. You can learn more at https://president.ubc.ca/strategic-plan-refresh .
The UBC community has already played a key role in this process, and I hope you will continue to support this final phase by sharing your feedback.
