Our strategy

The Ahead of Tomorrow Strategic Plan shapes our journey toward 2030.

View the plan

The University of Calgary’s remarkable trajectory reflects audacious growth and entrepreneurial spirit. Our students, postdocs, faculty, staff, and community have built a bold university in less than 60 years.

 

Implementation Plans

Any strategy is only as good as our follow-through. As part of the strategic plan, four implementation plans have been created to cover shorter time periods. These three-year plans expand on how the university will deliver approved initiatives, meet set goals and build out roadmaps of enabling activities that are needed to deliver on Ahead of Tomorrow.
