Working Groups
The Towards Carleton@100 visioning process is organized around five strategic directions, each explored by a dedicated working group. These groups are responsible for forward-looking, evidence-informed analysis and for developing recommendations that will guide the university’s direction towards 2032 and 2042.
Working Groups
Student Experience
The institutional architecture and coordination of choices that determine whether students can succeed and belong at Carleton.
Teaching and Learning
The structural conditions determining whether Carleton’s educational mission remains credible, competitive and fit for purpose by 2032, through to 2042.
Community Engagement and Partnerships
The structural capacity to build and sustain reciprocal, trust-based relationships with communities, partners and rights holders.
Research and Scholarly Impact
The sustainability, credibility and societal contribution of Carleton’s research enterprise in a dynamic funding environment and a context of technological disruption.
Institutional Health and Sustainability
The system-level financial, governance and operating model conditions that shape what Carleton can sustain and deliver through 2042.
These groups bring together students, faculty and staff to examine priorities, opportunities and challenges in their areas while addressing cross-cutting issues such as financial sustainability; equity, diversity and inclusion; reconciliation and Indigenous engagement; technological change; environmental stewardship; and community wellness and well-being.
Each group will submit preliminary recommendations for five to seven strategic directions for consideration to the Steering Committee.
Membership
Each working group includes:
- Co-Chair drawn from academic staff
- Co-Chair drawn from administrative staff
- Two to four faculty members
- Two to four administrative staff members
- Two students (one undergraduate, one graduate)
Working groups will conclude their work once the plan is approved by the Board of Governors.
