UBC’s strategic directions sets our path toward the 2050 vision, supported by annual actions informed by expert input and community consultation. These actions reflect a shared commitment across the university to move us towards a prosperous future.

Year One

Action 1

Advance a shared, institution-wide commitment and vision for experiential education that articulates its role, breadth of opportunities, and the core competencies it cultivates, while establishing a consistent, system-wide approach to data collection, tracking and reporting.

Action 2

Enhance student awareness of the value of experiential education, and expand access for all by addressing barriers, supporting navigation, and highlighting opportunities.

Notes:

  • The actions outlined as a part of Strategic Directions 2025–2030 work alongside the strategies committed to in Shaping UBC’s Next Century 2018–2028 (PDF).
  • These actions, some of which are multi-year, will be reviewed and renewed annually as our community and context evolve.
