UWindsor president Alan Wildeman released the latest draft of the University’s Strategic Mandate Agreement on Thursday, following discussion and feedback from faculty, the University Senate, and Ontario’s Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

“The University of Windsor strongly embraces the principles of putting students first, meeting the needs of the creative economy, and focussing on productivity, innovation and sustainability,” reads the draft. “It is our hope that the provincial Differentiation Policy Framework will in fact be an opportunity for us to cast a bright light on the distinctive things we have been doing for the past 50 years, and the strengths we look forward to building on.”

The document lists institutional strengths and enumerates opportunities for growth, including health and wellness, creative arts and digital media, multidisciplinary studies, professional career-oriented and internationally relevant programs.

The final document must be signed off with the ministry by March 31. Read the current draft on the presidential communications website.
