As UPEI begins the process of developing its next five-year strategic plan (2025–2030), we are launching a series of conversations and consultations to learn more about what matters to University members and priorities for the future.

UPEI faculty, staff, and students are invited to join in upcoming campus conversations hosted by UPEI President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Wendy Rodgers.

Bring your brown bag lunch and help us be forward thinking about our University’s future. Light refreshments will be provided, and door prizes will be drawn!

The first conversations will be in-person, small group ‘flipped’ sessions. The questions we will be exploring are provided below. Please come prepared to discuss and share your input on the topics.

Tuesday, September 24 
Topic: UPEI CULTURE 
11:30 am to 1:00 pm 
Schurman Market Square, Don and Marion McDougall Hall

Please think about the following: 
What are the key indicators of a positive, thriving culture? 
How will we know when we get there? 
How will we know if we are slipping in our efforts?

Thursday, September 26 
Topic: UPEI PRIORITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES 
11:30 am to 1:00 pm 
McMillan Hall, W.A. Murphy Student Centre

Please think about the following: 
Some of the key priorities that have emerged through consultations to date include sustainability; building trust; reconciliation; streamlined processes; and renewing university values. Other priorities such as student experience and success; budget transparency; and completing the UPEI Action Plan and subsequent Implementation Plan are also important to our University community.

What are UPEI’s greatest opportunities in these priority areas? 
How do we assess or measure these priorities?

Additional conversations and consultations, including hybrid sessions, are being scheduled for the Fall. All University members will have an opportunity to participate in providing input and feedback throughout the strategic planning process.
