Strategic Planning Framework

Exceptional Student Experience

Delivering an exceptional student experience by continuing to offer more opportunities for our students to learn, thrive, grow and be celebrated for their personal contributions.

Goal: The University of Manitoba will be a student-focused research university from the time of recruitment: a life-long academic home where students contribute to a diversity of ideas and experiences.

By continuing to offer more opportunities for our students to learn, grow and be celebrated for their personal contributions, we will ensure every student enjoys a full and rich experience at the University of Manitoba. The academic opportunities provided to students are the foundation upon which their university experience is built. The pursuit of knowledge that forms the basis of the university’s mission must be dedicated to the needs of students. We also recognize, however, that students need more than books, lectures, exams and laboratory time to ensure they gain the knowledge and experience they need to succeed. Much of what students will take away from their university experience occurs outside of the classroom in opportunities for creative debate, the exposure to a diversity of viewpoints, involvement in campus associations and activities and interactions with other members of the university community.

In our efforts to enrich the student experience, we will focus on: a dedication to quality of service in all our interactions with students; greater opportunities for undergraduate students to take part in meaningful research; a commitment to ensuring our students have a variety of international travel and learning opportunities; an enrolment management plan and a focused international student recruitment plan to ensure a vibrant and exciting diversity on campus.
