Tomorrow's leaders are emerging at the edge
In 2018, the University of Victoria adopted a new strategic framework. It’s a map for future directions and change that builds on wellestablished strengths at UVic and challenges us to achieve even more in the years ahead.
The strategic framework will help us achieve our vision to be the Canadian research university that best integrates outstanding scholarship, engaged learning and real-life involvement to contribute to a better future for people and the planet.
The six high-level priorities of the framework also recognize that our values and our collective efforts put us at the forefront of two global challenges—sustainability and reconciliation—and that our achievements have been possible because of our drive to engage and partner with communities, researchers, governments, industry and funders around the world and in our own region.
These partnerships have been a key feature of our successes, as you’ll see throughout this year’s publication.
—UVic President Jamie Cassels
The University of Victoria acknowledges with respect the Lekwungen peoples on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
