Connect

We value openness, collaboration, and understanding.

The second pillar in our strategic plan, “connect”, embraces connections of various types, grounded in the values of openness, collaboration and understanding. 

We have developed strong links to many organizations in our local, national, and global communities which support student learning through our placements, internships and co-op experiences. Many of our faculty are linked to communities and organizations both here and abroad through their research.  

But we want to do more. We want to strengthen our links to our community partners. We want to provide our students with practical learning experiences in local, national, and global communities. We want to fully encourage collaboration across the faculty by creating space for identifying, and incentives for implementing joint and shared opportunities. 

All of this falls under our second pillar of Connect.
