In spring 2020, Yukon College officially became Yukon University in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like everyone everywhere, YukonU adapted to the changes required by this global event, while maintaining focus on the long-term needs and aspirations of the University community and Yukon.
Our current Strategic Plan expires this year. The Yukon University Board of Governors has embarked on a process to both reflect on the institution’s achievements and consider the pathways forward. As the University continues its evolution over the next few years, the Board is inviting input from the public, the University community, our partners and stakeholders into its priorities.
Phase 1 (Internal): December 2020 to January 2021
Board of Governors develops initial evaluation of the Strategic Plan 2016-2021
Reflect on strategic priorities, strength and weaknesses as well as externally driven opportunities and threats.
Phase 2 (Public): February to April 2021
Invitational roundtables (digital video conferences) and in-depth interviews with First Nations governments, organizations and individuals, partners and stakeholders, faculty and staff, as well as students.
The Board of Governors has contracted Yukon-based Strategic Moves to gather input from the public as well as the University community, partners and other stakeholders and support the creation of a five-year YukonU Strategic Plan.
