Strategic Priorities

I: Discovery

As an organization grounded in learning, we empower learners, staff, and faculty to explore, experiment, co-create, and share knowledge. In this environment, learners develop relevant skills, critical and creative thinking, and a responsible business mindset, ensuring career-readiness and positive contributions to our local communities and beyond.

II: Truth and Reconciliation

We commit to reconciliation by integrating Indigenous worldviews into teaching, research, and partnerships, advancing TRC Calls to Action 57 and 92. Guided by ‘nothing about us without us,’ we centre Indigenous voices, build trust through shared learning, and honour past, present, and future generations through economic reconciliation and mutual respect. We commit to advancing reconciliation with specific attention to TRC Calls to Action 57 and 92. This strengthens the University’s pledge to honour Indigenous histories, knowledge, and futures.

III: Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, Well-Being, and Belonging

We foster an environment where learners, staff, and faculty feel safe, supported, and connected, with access to programs and resources that enhance emotional, physical, and mental well-being. We promote systems that ensure equity, justice, diversity, and inclusion, building a true sense of belonging across our communities.

IV: Sustainability in Research, Teaching, and Operations

We are committed to advancing sustainability through community well-being and reducing inequalities through inclusive education, research, and professional engagement. Grounded in our values and aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals — particularly Goal 5: Gender Equality, Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities — we aim to be a catalyst for inclusive and sustainable social progress.

V: Impact and Identity

We strengthen our identity and brand by creating measurable, positive impact in our community. Through partnerships, experiential learning, and community engagement, we provide faculty, staff, and learners with opportunities to contribute meaningfully to local needs, building a business school known for its responsiveness and relevance.
