Strategic Directions
The University of Saskatchewan is charting a course for its future. We are determined to make the changes that are required to place the University of Saskatchewan among the most distinguished universities in Canada and abroad. We will set high goals for ourselves and we will work together to attain them. These Strategic Directions are our pathway to the future. They . . . signal the type of university we aspire to be. I am confident that Renewing the Dream will inspire us to achieve the bold vision of our founders who, nearly a century ago, envisioned a world class university at the end of a swift flowing river surrounded by vast prairies. These Strategic Directions challenge us to build on that vision as we prepare for our second century.

University of Saskatchewan Strategic Directions 2002: Renewing the Dream
In 2002, the University of Saskatchewan approved President Peter MacKinnon’s Strategic Directions Statement, which defines how the University of Saskatchewan should develop and lays out several specific strategies for implementing these goals. The Strategic Directions state that the University of Saskatchewan will be known for:
- International standards: adherence to international standards in all its activities.
- Academic preeminence: preeminence in specific areas of creative academic programming and scholarship.
- Sense of place: connections to Saskatchewan, Western Canada, the North and the Great Plains environments of the world.
For the planning period of 2002-2007, four strategic priorities will guide our decisions:
1. Attract and retain outstanding faculty.
2. Increase campus-wide commitment to research, scholarly and artistic work.
3. Establish the University of Saskatchewan as a major presence in graduate education.
4. Recruit a diverse and academically promising body of students and prepare them for success in the knowledge age.
The University will establish a supportive environment for these directions, including cultivating an environment of collegiality and trust; celebrating the university locally, nationally and internationally; enriching the resources and physical environment of the campus; and enhancing our revenue opportunities.
