UBC recently released its new strategic plan, Shaping UBC’s Next Century. Subsequently, a draft of the accompanying Indigenous Strategic Plan was released for comment and continues to be finalized.
For historical and continuity purposes, this section provides access to its predecessor, the Aboriginal Strategic Plan, and subsequent Implementation Reports.
2009 Plan
In the summer of 2007, UBC began the long process of developing a comprehensive framework for Aboriginal programming at the university, the Aboriginal Strategic Plan (ASP). After extensive planning, consultation, and deliberation, that plan was finalized in December 2008 and became university policy in January 2009. It was the first completed portion of Place and Promise, the university’s larger strategic plan. If you would like to know more about the process through which the plan was formed and the people who worked on it, please see the Aboriginal Strategic Plan History page.
The 2009 Aboriginal Strategic Plan outlined ten major areas of action and provides a framework within which the many initiatives underway across the university can be located and be better integrated. It also defines critical areas in which further work must be done.
TEXT OF THE ABORIGINAL STRATEGIC PLAN
Following the acceptance of the Plan in January 2009, a set of first priorities for implementation was identified and an Implementation Committee established.
