Our new strategic plan (2023-2028) will represent a shared vision for advancing the School to even greater levels of excellence and impact.

Rooted in our vision of building a more just, sustainable and prosperous world through innovation and responsible leadership, this new plan will be formulated through dialogue and collaboration with the UBC Sauder community.

Our first step is to invite you as current UBC Sauder faculty, staff, and students to provide input on the key priorities within each of Dean Dahl’s four pillars:

  • World-class knowledge creation
  • Enhanced learner experience
  • Responsibility to society
  • Engaged and collaborative community

We appreciate all the input we have received to date and look forward to a renewed strategic plan that will direct the School and inspire the community. For a more complete picture of our process and next steps, please see our project timeline below.
