Moving forward with UPEI’s Future Direction

UPEI’s Reflections and Future Directions visioning exercise has entered its next stage!
Since 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 and 11 Sub-Committees. 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.

The first draft framework of UPEI’s Future Directions Vision Document is the result of this active dialogue.

This exciting next stage of the Future Directions visioning exercise invites our campus, alumni, and community to provide input 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.

When you are reviewing the draft framework, please consider some of the following questions:

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