UPEI’s Reflections and Future Directions<\/em> visioning exercise<\/a> has entered its next stage!
\nSince November 2011, the Reflections and Future Directions process has benefitted from on-going direction and input of more than 140 of our students, staff, faculty and alumni through its Steering Committee<\/a> and 11 Sub-Committees<\/a>. Last week, our campus community joined us for a Campus Conversation that provided our team with further input into UPEI’s core strengths and the pillars on which we want to build our exciting future.<\/p>\n

The first draft framework<\/a> of UPEI’s Future Directions Vision Document is the result of this active dialogue.<\/p>\n

This exciting next stage of the Future Directions visioning exercise invites our campus, alumni, and community to provide input<\/a> into the draft framework. Through a positive, strengths-based approach, we hope to build upon the collective feedback that has been compiled to-date to build a strong vision for UPEI.<\/p>\n

When you are reviewing the draft framework, please consider some of the following questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What kind of UPEI do you want in 5 years time?<\/li>\n
  2. How can we continue to improve the student experience UPEI offers?<\/li>\n
  3. How can UPEI best serve Prince Edward Island?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
