The University of Windsor is embarking on its next strategic plan and is calling on the campus and external communities in the Windsor-Essex region and beyond to help inform that process.

Aspire: Together for Tomorrow will be the most important five-year navigational tool guiding the institution’s decision-making by informing its common vision, values, priorities, and goals.

The Strategic Planning Survey is one step in the comprehensive strategic planning process. Responses will help inform where we want to go as a university and how we can best get there. Participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous. To complete the survey and be eligible for prizes, respondents must be 18 years of age or older. Take the survey now.

“The Strategic Plan will be the roadmap that provides us with the foundation for what is next for the University of Windsor,” said University of Windsor president Robert Gordon. “It will help us to build on our strengths, expand our reach, and enhance how we can work with the people and organizations who are invested in continuing to create a vibrant, welcoming, and prosperous Windsor-Essex region.”

The planning process will inform short- and long-term goals, establish benchmarks to measure progress, establish public accountability reporting, and determine how resources and energies are directed.

“Please join us in building the plan together,” Dr. Gordon said. “Your input is critical for building a vision — and future for the University of Windsor — that we can all be proud of.”

Aspire email signatures and letterhead templates are also available on the Public Affairs and Communications website for use anyone wanting to promote engagement with the strategic planning process.
