Welcome to Laurentian University’s 2023 Strategic Planning Process
As part of our work to develop a new strategic plan, we are engaging with our stakeholders to ensure that the plan reflects the needs of those stakeholders, both now and into the future.
Join us as we engage with our stakeholder communities to chart a path forward for Laurentian’s bright future, and lead the way in supporting learning, research, and community in Northern Ontario.
Community Engagement: Your Voice Matters!
Thank you to all of the students, staff, and community members who helped shape Laurentian’s new strategic plan! More than 2,500 people participated in the consultations on the strategic plan throughout the Summer and Fall of 2023 in both French and in English. The consultations involved twenty (20) one-on-one interviews, fifteen (15) focus groups, twenty (20) group interviews, four (4) drop-in engagement sessions, and four (4) online surveys.
Your feedback, now summarized in the What We Heard Report (PDF), helped inform Laurentian’s Landscape Report (PDF), which outlines Laurentian’s current state as well as the trends and issues for which it will need to consider during the development of the Strategic Plan for 2024-2029.
Your comments also helped to develop a draft of the strategic plan. The first iteration was announced on November 21st, 2023 and a second round of engagement was held from November 23rd to December 1st, 2023, where the Laurentian community had an opportunity to view the draft plan and share their thoughts. An updated version of the draft strategic plan is now available.
Note: The most recent iteration of the draft strategic plan, available below, was last updated on December 7th, 2023.
Developing the Strategic Plan
We will review all the feedback received throughout this process and incorporate it into the new strategic plan that will be shared here in early 2024.
