A new five-year academic plan has been unveiled by UNBC.
The Ready Roadmap: Academic Plan 2025-2031 will reflect the voices of the university community, and underscores the commitment to ensuring exceptional student learning opportunities in our region.
“Students played a vital role in shaping this plan by sharing their experiences, perspectives and ideas, and that’s what makes it so meaningful,” said UNBC graduate and former student-athlete Bella Mesquita, who served on the Academic Plan Advisory and Working Committee.
“It’s a roadmap that puts students at the centre of everything, ensuring their voices are heard and their success is the priority. That kind of commitment makes a real difference in the student experience.”
The academic plan builds on UNBC’s Strategic Plan Ready and emphasizes academic excellence, experiential learning, inclusive growth and the school’s continued leadership across the region and beyond.
It eight key priorities are as follows:
- Driving Strategic Enrolment Growth and Impact
- Empowering Indigenous Voices & Knowledge at UNBC
- Transforming Curriculum and Pioneering Pedagogical Innovation
- Building a Bold and Inclusive Regional Strategy
- Expanding Global Impact through International Strategy
- Optimizing Resource Allocation for Maximum Academic Impact
- Empowering Lifelong Learning and Enhancing the Role of Continuing Studies
- Championing Faculty Excellence and Development
“As UNBC reflects on 35 years of impact, this plan represents the next chapter in the University’s story,” says UNBC President Dr. Geoff Payne.
“UNBC’s future continues to be inspired by the founding principles that launched the institution in 1990: regional relevance, community engagement and academic excellence. I extend my deep gratitude to members of the advisory committee for leading a robust, inclusive process to shape this important roadmap.”
The plan was developed through extensive engagement opportunities on campus and online, with contributions from students, faculty, staff and alumni.
