The conference theme Navigating the READY Roadmap is the organizing theme for this year’s conference. The conference committee feels that meaningful academic change takes time, focus, and collective effort and continued reflection on these themes helps us celebrate the progress we’ve made and cast our vision to the future.
Last year’s conference familiarized the teaching and learning community with the plan; this year we turn more deliberately to implementation, showcasing emerging initiatives, exploring challenges, and sharing early evidence of impact on student learning and success.
The Ready Roadmap: Academic Plan 2025-2031 addresses the following priorities:
- 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
