Strategic Planning Process
Our strategic planning process will gather information from our many constituents, through a range of methods, to create a five-year strategic plan for the Faculty of Arts (2023-2028).
UCalgary Arts is a complex and rich milieu:
- a diverse community of scholars and creators
- a broad range of undergraduate and graduate programs
- dedicated staff and engaged students
What are we doing?
Our consultations will focus on individuals, the units within our faculty, and internal and external communities.
We will draw upon existing data to consider trends, and to identify strengths and weaknesses.
Why are we undertaking this planning process?
- To foster a distinct Arts identity and build cohesion
- To establish a clear Arts vision and direction
- To align all aspects of the Faculty to work effectively together
- To establish systematic and coherent resource allocation decisions
- To build relationships with, between and among our internal and external communities
- To cultivate a workplace committed to collegiality and well-being
What will we do with the information we gather?
The information we gather will inform the creation of a strategic plan to better navigate the opportunities and challenges faced by our students, staff, faculty and communities
- We will identify desired outcomes that support the work of the Faculty of Arts and the communities we impact
- We will establish means or methods of achieving the desired outcomes identified through the information we gather
