Take Action

Take Action^*

At an institutional level, the Academic Plan, the Research Plan and the People Plan drive the implementation of the Strategic Plan.

Each explicitly aligns with the four strategic directions and identifies the specific actions that will be taken across the institution to see the University of Lethbridge realize each goal. Action items generated through the integrated consultation process for this strategic plan will inform that work. Once annually, the vice-presidents accountable for the Academic, Research, and People Plans will each make a presentation to the General Faculties Council Strategic Planning Committee and the Board of Governors highlighting institutional progress toward each goal.

The Strategic Plan will also guide each of us and our units every day, to help us prioritize our work with a focus on leveraging our strengths and leaning into what makes the University of Lethbridge unique. These goals guide and inspire our work, especially when faced with choices about if or how to allocate our time, efforts, and resources.

Continued action in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, our own Campus Sustainability Strategy and Action Plan 2024-2030, as well as the Buffalo Treaty, the Okanagan Charter, and the Scarborough Charter, on which we are signatories, is also necessary to realizing our goals and will continue to inform our plans.

Our internal and external communities identified what was most important to them and how we could best realize our commitments. Those priorities are articulated in the four strategic directions of this plan, while the goals guide and challenge us, both individually and collectively, to align our decision-making and actions in support of these goals.
