L E T T E R from the BO ARD C HA I R
It's exciting to serve as the new Chair of the Board of Governors as Lakehead launches
its Strategic Plan for 2013-18.
Although it looks like an ordinary document - one of the many universities turn out
with predictable regularity - even quickly leafing through its pages makes it clear that
this Strategic Plan is anything but ordinary. It's a framework that will foster intellectual
and human connections and give students the tools to construct their own destiny.
It's not surprising that Lakehead's collective vision for the next five years is a bold
one. Since moving to Northwestern Ontario more than twenty years ago, I've learned
that innovation and resourcefulness is a way of life here. And this spirit is also rooted
in the hearts of those who call Simcoe County home. Thank you to all the faculty,
staff, students, alumni, and broader community members who have engaged in the
consultation process.
While completing the Strategic Plan is a major milestone, we know that this is just the
start. With your commitment and hard work, we will ensure that Lakehead is a place
where scientists, philosophers, engineers, and fearless dreamers come together to and
sustain our world.
Cameron Clark
Chair, Board of Governors
Lakehead University

Stiategic Plan - 2013-18-

�L E T T E R from the p R E S I D E N T and Vice-Chancellor
The Strategic Plan for 2013-18 has gone through different iterations, alterations,
and revisions. And this is a good thing because it means that Lakehead is being
responsive to the aspirations of everyone connected to this dynamic university and
true to itself.
By listening to many voices, we have created a plan that embraces Lakehead's
tradition of encouraging students and faculty to explore big questions and find
original solutions - and taken it several steps further. Our stakeholders should expect
no less from an institution that revolves around experiential and collaborative
learning.
Now it is time to launch the strategic actions laid out in this plan. This complex
process will be carried out in concert with our Academic and operational plans and
will result in vibrant community partnerships, strong social justice initiatives, and
greater economic development for Northwestern Ontario and Simcoe County.
The challenges Lakehead University has set for itself may seem daunting, choosing
the road less travelled often does. But our cutting-edge excellence in teaching,
research, and community service ensures that these are challenges we are more than
ready to take on.

�OVERVIEW

T

his Strategic Plan is the culmination of a twoyear process that began in January 2011 when

Lakehead's Board of Governors first turned their
attention to laying the groundwork for the 2013 to
2018 period.
Their initial efforts became the draft Strategic Plan
which was released for comment in April 2012. From
April until November, the Board of Governors and
senior administration engaged the entire University,
and the broader communities in both Thunder Bay
and Orillia, in a discussion aimed at defining a fresh
vision for Lakehead University.
The consultation was a resounding success, resulting
in a plan that is more complete, more nuanced, and
more attuned to the University community. It is also
one that continues to support the dual governance
model of Board and Senate.
Among the highlights of the consultation process, led
by Board Chair Cameron Clark, were over

�50 meetings with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and
community members. The Board was rewarded with
the diverse perspectives of these key stakeholders
as well as those of individuals unconnected to the
University who took the time and trouble to read the
plan online and forward their thoughts. The ideas
the Board received have been incorporated into the
updated plan and will help shape the direction of the
University.
The evolution of the Strategic Plan also coincided with

a major re-branding initiative designed to identify
what we value as an organization. The responses to
the simultaneous branding consultation formed the
basis of a new Vision and Mission, unveiled for the
first time in this Strategic Plan. These core elements of
Lakehead's approach to learning and scholarship have
been enhanced by a Belief statement revolving around
the heartfelt conviction that, "Our students make
Lakehead University different."
The task of writing the plan is now complete and the
Mission, Vision, and Belief statements are firmly in
place. But this achievement is just the beginning. The
Board of Governors is ready to lead the implementation
of the plan's five strategic actions and nearly 50
initiatives on behalf of the entire University community.
And when we celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2015,
we will also be celebrating a transformed Lakehead.

This Strategic Plan is built around five major interrelated and
interconnected components. They should be seen not as directions, or
even as pillars, but rather as interlocking circles. A clear sign of their
interdependence is the fact that many of our initiatives support more than
one component.

�THE

F RAM E WO R K FORTH E F UT U RE
Nurturing Scholarship
Teaching, research, and service form the three pillars upon which universities achieve their twin
objectives of expanding and communicating knowledge. The term scholarship was chosen for this
direction because it accurately reflects the Board's belief that teaching and research, although they
may be seen as separate activities, are inextricably linked and driven by a common focus on learning.

Learner-Centred Student Experience
The lakehead Experience must flow both from its history and its mission. Increasing diversity and
a clear commitment to helping students succeed will create a transformative student experience.

Lakehead University offers unrivaled opportunities for life experiences that are far from ordinary.
A clear example of this is the active student involvement in Lakehead's varsity athletics program
and the program's strong community relationships. The University itself, through the dual focus on
one-stop services and giving students the tools to carve their own unique path to success will bring
additional richness to the lakehead Experience.

Growth and Capacity Development
The Board anticipates that by 2018, major new initiatives to attract and keep international,
Aboriginal, and graduate students, coupled with the University's successful undergraduate and
graduate programs, will result in an overall enrolment of 10,000 students. As a result, lakehead
University will be broader, deeper, and more sustainable.
10 - Strategic Plan - 2013-18

...

Community Engagement
At the heart of this component is Lakehead's desire for a relationship with the community.
The plan will build a stronger, more vibrant relationship with the community through a
"knowledge commons" and a commitment to students who face barriers to postsecondary
education. A critical element is expanding working relationships with Aboriginal groups,
school boards, municipal governments, non-profit groups, private businesses, and alumni. A
comprehensive external relations plan that prepares the University to enter into a significant
campaign is integral to greater community engagement.

Economic Development
Lakehead is directly involved with economic development in four major ways beginning
with the positive financial impact on the community stemming from the purchasing and
spending of University staff, faculty, and students. We provide trained graduates for new jobs
created by the knowledge economy. Our faculty and staff enrich the community through
their active involvement and support of art, music, culture, and recreation. Our research
fosters innovation that will lead to the emergence of new companies and new industries. This
component recognizes these benefits are part of the University's raison d'etre and not simply
an accidental by-product.
