FOLLOWING endorsement by the Board of Governors and both Senates, the University of British Columbia has formally launched its refreshed strategic plan: UBC’s Strategic Directions 2025–2030. “UBC’s Strategic Directions 2025–2030 offer us a clear north star for these challenging times.”At the inception of the process last fall, the community was asked to envision UBC in 2050. These institutional plans include the Indigenous Strategic Plan, UBC Okanagan’s Declaration of Truth and Reconciliation Commitments, Climate Action Plan 2030, the Student Strategic Plan, the Strategic Equity and Anti -Racism (StEAR) Framework, the Focus on People Framework and the Wellbeing Strategic Framework. In addition, UBC’s Strategic Directions 2025–2030 introduces seven new and exciting strategic directions that will help UBC catalyze its impact as a top-ranked university that is home to world-class teaching, learning and research. “UBC’s Strategic Directions 2025–2030 places our students, faculty, staff, and partners at the center of UBC’s success,” said UBC Vancouver Provost and Vice-President Academic, Dr. Gage Averill.
