Strategic Planning Process
In February 2024, The University of Winnipeg began the process to create its next university-wide strategic plan. This plan will provide a solid foundation to ensure UWinnipeg continues to be a community of excellence and innovation for decades to come.
A steering committee was formed to steward the planning process. Following a competitive search, UWinnipeg partnered with Higher Education Strategy Associates (HESA) to support the development of the new plan. HESA's highly experienced team has a strong reputation for guiding academic institutions through strategic planning.

Consultation process
This process has included an extensive consultation phase to ensure the plan accurately reflects the aspirations and priorities of our diverse community.
In total, 34 consultations sessions were held with members of our UWinnipeg community—faculty, staff, students, administrators, and alumni—and external partners and stakeholders. Insights were also gathered through a survey.
A report was compiled to capture what was heard through the consultations. The University community was invited to review this report and provide feedback to inform the drafting of the strategic plan. Staff, faculty, and students can view the report: What We Heard: Summary of February-September Consultations
