University Strategy update
Posted on 2 February 2020
Dear students,
Last term we started the conversation about creating a new future strategic vision for York. The University Executive Board (UEB) and I would like to say a huge thank you to the students who attended meetings and focus groups, and to those who sent in their thoughts and ideas. I really enjoyed meeting many of you.
We’ve used what you and staff members have told us to create a draft new Vision Statement for the University. I’m sharing this with you all now.
We are giving this Vision Statement to a range of working groups to consider and propose a number of objectives to deliver against eleven themes identified (eight strategic and three infrastructure). We’ve made sure there is a student voice on these groups via YUSU and GSA.
When we have the draft objectives we’ll be asking you again for your comments and feedback. This is likely to happen in the second half of March and during April. This gives us time to consider your suggestions before we send a final University Strategy to Senate and Council to consider and approve in July 2020.
Details of the working groups including membership and descriptions of the key themes will be published online shortly, and we will keep posting regular updates on progress.
Thank you all again for your thoughts and ideas and for getting involved in the conversation on our future.
Charlie
