Begin the survey
October 1, 2024 - Welcome to Laurentian University’s Academic Plan and Strategic Research Plan Survey!

Laurentian University is excited to embark on a journey to shape the future of our academic activity and research and innovation enterprise with the development of a new Academic Plan and Strategic Research Plan. These plans will be closely aligned with the University's 2024-2029 Strategic Plan: Connection, Innovation, and Impact, ensuring that our priorities, goals, and strategies reflect our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and making a meaningful impact.

To support the development of the Academic Plan and Strategic Research Plan, we have designed two surveys, one for our Laurentian community and another for external participants. Feedback from these surveys will help shape the future of Laurentian as we strive to achieve excellence in both academic and research endeavors.

What is the purpose of the Academic Plan and Strategic Research Plan? Laurentian’s Academic Plan will define our educational goals, curricula development, and teaching strategies to enhance learning outcomes and academic excellence. Laurentian’s Strategic Research Plan will define our research priorities, goals, and strategies, with a focus on fostering innovation, collaboration, and impactful research activities.

What is the purpose of the Academic Plan Survey and the Strategic Research Plan Survey? The development of the Academic Plan and Strategic Research Plan rely on active input and feedback from the Laurentian community and external interest holders. Your insights are crucial in shaping the future of our research efforts and academic efforts.

We are committed to positioning Laurentian as a leading academic and research institution in Northern Ontario, where the success of our learners, researchers, communities, employers, and industry partners is a shared priority. To achieve this, we need your ideas and perspectives. This survey is a vital part of our collaborative effort to gather diverse viewpoints that will influence the direction of our academic and research initiatives.

Please note that StrategyCorp, the independent consulting firm assisting the University with the development of the Academic Plan and Strategic Research Plan, will collect the survey responses. All results will be anonymized to protect your identity and encourage open feedback.
