The planning process of the Strategic Plan 2016-2025 began in June 2014. We involved a wide spectrum of internal and external stakeholders such as faculty members, staff, students, alumni, school partners, etc. to participate in the planning process. A series of consultation activities were organized from April to November 2016 to collect their feedback on the Plan via multiple channels (e.g. open forum, a series of consultation sessions with faculty members, staff, students and alumni). Their perspectives and input are critical to helping the University develop a plan that will shape the direction and advance the mission of the University over the next ten years. The Strategic Plan 2016-2025 was subsequently approved by the University Council in December 2016.
