Message from the President: Provide your feedback on UBC’s emerging priorities by April 11

March 31, 2025

A message from Benoit-Antoine Bacon, President and Vice-Chancellor

Last September, UBC launched a process to refresh its strategic plan in order to better define the university’s long-term vision and establish priorities and actions, largely focused on our academic and research mission, for the next three to five years.

Since then, more than 3,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni and other members of the UBC community have contributed their thoughts, through a series of surveys, workshops, pop-ups and other events and activities.

Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the process. Your input has helped inform the development of a draft 25-year vision for UBC, together with emerging academic and research priorities, that will strengthen our position as one of the world’s leading universities.

As we get close to completing the strategic plan refresh, we are offering an opportunity for the wider UBC community to give input. We are asking for your feedback in relation to what extent you believe the emerging priorities will help advance the university over the next three to five years.

You are invited to complete this survey. The deadline for responses is April 11, 2025.
