Have Your Say in U of G’s New Academic Plan
The University of Guelph is developing a new Academic Plan.
To further our academic mission, and aligned with the institutional priorities of enhancing the student experience, advancing research and innovation, and cultivating an engaged and inclusive workforce, the Academic Plan will weave together the goals and work of units across U of G.
The Academic Plan will be a strategy that guides how U of G fosters a rich learning and research environment that supports our community members to reach their full academic and personal potential.
Engagement sessions will solicit feedback around three key pillars:
* Campus Community
* Student Success and Experience
* Research Impact and Support
Join us at one of three Academic Plan workshops
Share your thoughts on these topics at one of the upcoming workshops to help shape the Academic Plan.
* Campus Community
* Wednesday, February, 9:30 – 11:00
* Waasamowin (SSC Atrium)
* Student Success and Experience
* Thursday, February 26 10:00 – 11:30

* Research Impact and Support
* Friday, February 27, 10:30 – 12:00
