Strategic Plan
Vision Statement
The University of Regina seeks to reflect the world we want to live in — a world that values empowered citizens, generates high-impact scholarship, and embraces Canada’s diversity.
Mission Statement
The U of R’s vocation is to explore unanswered questions. We provide high-quality and accessible education, influential research, creative endeavours, and meaningful scholarly experiences in pursuit of local and global contributions to knowledge. Investigation of and reflection upon varied intellectual pursuits is fundamental, and we engage our students in these pursuits, seeking to instill in them a lifelong quest for knowledge and understanding.
Values
Mutual Respect, Integrity, and Honesty
Our treatment of each other is conscientious, open, transparent, and respectful. We are a safe, healthy, and supportive community prioritizing the well-being of our students, faculty, staff, and community partners.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
We are committed to creating and promoting equitable systems that foster diversity and inclusion for students, faculty, and staff. Through our adoption of a mainstreaming approach to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), all people - including women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, visible minority groups, and members of LGBTQ2S+ communities - are integral members of our community.
Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being
We are committed to Truth and Reconciliation. We aspire to walk together well and strengthen our relationships based on mutual respect and accountability. Our ongoing and emerging activities will be accountable to future generations.
Communities and Social Responsibility
We employ our expertise to serve each other, the environment, and society. We nurture reciprocal relationships with our communities by being committed to vibrancy and inclusivity and demonstrating social, environmental, and economic responsibility.
Virtual Launch
All Our Relations signifies a strong sense of mutuality and interdependence embodying respect for each other in thought, word, or deed. In this spirit, the University of Regina believes that our strength lies in our relationships and interconnectedness and that we are stronger, together. We believe in the power of community, and by acknowledging All Our Relations, we can honour who we are, where we are, where we have been, and where we are going.
Areas of Focus
The University of Regina is committed to the following 5 Areas of Focus and the specific goals related to each area. Each goal encourages the University community to work together and to break down and challenge conventional divisions between faculty and staff, departments and units, student and instructors, communities and the University. The aim of this Strategic Plan is to inspire bold and unconventional thinking. It is essential that the goals portrayed here respect, honour, and foster the strengths of individual units and faculties so they can set their own goals that engage, align with the plan, and collectively contribute to the University’s overall success.
How to pronounce "kahkiyaw kiwâhkômâkaninawak"
The title of our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, All Our Relations, is the English equivalent of a phrase familiar to most North American First Nations Peoples. It is often used to formally acknowledge the interconnectedness of family and all its relations, including those who walk on two feet, those who walk on four feet, those who swim in the great waters, those who fly in the sky, and those who crawl on their bellies.
