Recorded 07/29/2025  |  74 minutes
Recorded 07/29/2025  |  74 minutes Hear how two institutions embarked on journeys to refresh their respective strategic plans. Although quite different in size and location, each institution sought to create bold plans for organizational transformation and a sustainable future while also pursuing strategies for growth and equitable outcomes. Developing these plans didn’t result from a top-down exercise; each was created by engaging their respective communities as a whole. Panelists will outline their views of the uncertain future facing higher education and how institutions need to mobilize internally to address these challenges. By balancing equitable outcomes, affordability, and success for future generations of students—and leveraging interdisciplinary offerings—these institutions put data-informed, strategic plans into place which enabled them to reinforce their value to the respective local communities and to the larger environment.

They’ll also share the innovative systems approaches they have successfully implemented, including adoption of the Okanagan Charter, joining the Health Promoting Campus Network, and addressing social determinants of health. By focusing on these advanced strategies, you’ll gain insights into practical, scalable solutions that can be adapted to your own institution.
