What's Next

Science Strategic Plan Homepage Banner.

With the launch of the strategic plan, the SPEC has completed its work and the Science Planning Committee (SPC) has been created to take over. Over the next five years, the Dean and the members of the SPC will champion the Future of Science in all aspects of the Faculty’s planning.

To prepare for implementing the plan, the faculty have restructured some of the Associate Dean portfolios to enable them to lead and provide guidance during the plan’s execution.

By focusing on our Catalysts of using data for decision-making, updating physical infrastructure, building connections and communicating openly, we will continue to update the Science community on how we are tracking toward our goals moving forward. Any success we have will be shared regularly. We will implement new key performance indicators, and our annual integrated planning and budgeting will ensure we remain agile, collaborative, and efficient.
