Dear 91ÑÇÉ« community,
Today we launch 91ÑÇÉ«'s new 2026-30 University Academic Plan (UAP). The UAP sets our academic direction for the next four years, built on six principles that will guide how we teach, learn, research and engage with each other and the world beyond 91ÑÇÉ«.
The UAP is a plan for the entire 91ÑÇÉ« community, and we all have a role to play in bringing it to life.
Interim President and Vice-Chancellor Lisa Philipps and I will host drop-in engagement sessions on each campus. Join us to learn more about the plan's principles, ask questions and share your hopes for where the UAP can lead us. You can also explore the new UAP website and read YFile to learn more about the plan.

Bring your ideas. At the events, you can write your hopes for the plan on seed paper and post them under the principle that speaks to you. The seed paper will later be planted on our campuses, allowing those ideas to grow both symbolically and literally.
Faculty, staff, students and instructors are all welcome and no registration is required. Stay a while or drop by for 15 minutes. Light refreshments will be served.
I hope to see you there.
Laina Bay-Cheng
Interim Provost & Vice-President Academic
