At a recent town hall, President Joanne MacLean gave an update on the UFV visioning process. If you missed the town hall, you can watch it online<\/a>. Here is a synopsis of where the vision process is to date.<\/p>\n Using community input gathered in November\u2019s online thoughtexchange forum<\/a>, the Visioning Steering Committee<\/a> reached consensus on four values that are central to our daily life at UFV:<\/p>\n A mission expresses our core purpose, who we serve and the impact we have.\u00a0For the UFV mission, the Steering Committee was presented with a set of statements that were highly rated in the November thoughtexchange. The Steering Committee was asked to play with the concepts and phrasing until they arrived at a strong statement of UFV’s mission.<\/p>\n Although consensus on a single mission statement has not yet been reached, the Steering Committee coalesced around the idea of \u201cbuilding community\u201d and agreed that it was fundamental to UFV\u2019s purpose. The other two concepts under discussion are:<\/p>\n The steering committee is set to meet again and will further refine the components of UFV\u2019s mission. Feedback on the work to date will also be considered and can be submitted by email to visioning@ufv.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n UFV is now embarking on the final phase in the visioning process: defining a new vision statement.\u00a0Vision relates to the future we want for UFV. Our new vision will provide an internal aspirational statement helping inform our goals and our plans for the university going forward.<\/p>\n We appreciate all the input the community has provided so far. Please share your thoughts on the future of UFV between now and January 21 by answering two questions on vision through thoughtexchange<\/a>.<\/p>\n The vision working committee will also be holding visioning workshops in February, giving you an opportunity to have a conversation about our future with other UFV community members.
