STRATEGIC PLAN
2022-2027

Faculty of Fine Arts

In 2021, the Faculty of Fine Arts embarked on a consultative strategic planning exercise that enabled us to ask ourselves where we can distinguish ourselves and how we can take concrete, measurable actions to continue to be innovative, relevant, and impactful in the future. The resulting framework, launched in Fall 2022, helps us plan for our future, seize opportunities, and navigate change together. Download the plan.
