Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is another step closer to fashioning a strategic vision capable of transforming the institution into a truly competitive international university that is globally recognized for its educational and research impacts. Following a year-long collaborative consultation with a vast range of campus stakeholders, Principal and Vice-Chancellor Patrick Deane has shared his Report on the Conversation 카지노 게임 컬렉션 an account and reflection on the feedback he heard which will serve as the groundwork upon which the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s new strategic framework will be built.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I am grateful to all members of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and to many individuals beyond it 카지노 게임 컬렉션 for their frank and helpful contributions to this effort,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Principal Deane. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Based on all of my conversations over the past many months, this report strives to give an honest and critical look at the obstacles facing Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, and to outline what I believe will be key areas of focus and ongoing dialogue as we worked toward a shared vision for our future.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Out of his conversations with the campus community three significant pillars on which to construct a compelling vision for the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s future emerged. These will continue to take shape as the community reviews and provides feedback on the report over the coming months.

Articulate a Global Purpose

The Report on the Conversation begins with Principal Deane카지노 게임 컬렉션s thoughts on the theme of global purpose. He notes Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s was built as an academic community for the purpose of providing a national academy for Canada that would nurture the formation and development of the country; a Canada of the 19th century that was white, male-dominated, Christian, and Eurocentric. This effort was successful, turning Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s into a revered institution, but in an ever-evolving modern Canada this history is becoming quickly inadequate in carrying the university forward.

The vision and values of the Canadian community as they exist today are now inconsistent with those on which Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s was built, so, while loyalty to the institution remains strong, it lacks a sense of meaningful purpose.

카지노 게임 컬렉션We are undoubtedly still a very proud university, but I heard powerfully the message that we need a cause for pride that transcends our history, that has the potential to excite us all by the vigour and creativity of its engagement with the present as well as the future,카지노 게임 컬렉션 writes Principal Deane. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We need deliberately to reconsider and renegotiate our relationship with the world beyond Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.카지노 게임 컬렉션

He leads with this emphasis on impact. The need for institutional thrust fueled by a recognition of the value that exists beyond the academy 카지노 게임 컬렉션 value tied to the wellbeing of people and the maximum benefit to Canada, society, and the world.

Attend to the Nature and Quality of our 카지노게임사이트 Community

To be thought of as a truly national institution, Principal Deane highlights the need for Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to reflect and serve equitably the needs and aspirations of our increasingly diverse nation.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Another recurring theme of the Conversation (has been) the need to address, once and for all, the intractable problem of racism at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, and to entrench more broadly and deeply the principles of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigeneity,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he writes.

Furthermore, he notes how this need is compounded by cultural globalization which has come to necessitate that universities extend beyond a national scope, in service to the great human challenges of our time.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Reimagining our relationship with the notion of community will be fundamental to our success in the future,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he adds. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It is possible to imagine a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 buoyed up, vibrant, and united by its unqualified joy in diversity.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Specific to this thematic area, Principal Deane notes that the Higher Education Research for Sustainable Development (HESD) and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become defining activities of the global academy in the 2020s 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and can serve to clarify Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s sense of purpose.

Design & Build Partnerships for Impact

The campus community카지노 게임 컬렉션s feedback made clear that the impact of universities is directly proportional to their connectedness; partnerships 카지노 게임 컬렉션 particularly those formed around shared goals 카지노 게임 컬렉션 with peer institutions, governments, organizations, and local, national, and international communities will be essential.

카지노 게임 컬렉션In addition to whatever economic benefit we passively contribute (to Kingston and the region) at present, we have an obligation intentionally to bring the scholarly and human resources of the university to bear on issues of cultural, social, and environmental sustainability as they manifest themselves locally,카지노 게임 컬렉션 writes Principal Deane. 카지노 게임 컬렉션That is the founding assumption of community-engaged research and teaching; a movement that has gained momentum around the world in the spirit of (the Sustainable Development Goals).카지노 게임 컬렉션

This energy must also be applied to further Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s reach internationally.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The concept of the 카지노 게임 컬렉션national카지노 게임 컬렉션 university has카지노 게임 컬렉션 become insufficient 카지노 게임 컬렉션 at least for any academic community that aspires to be compared to the best,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Through its work the university brings benefit to the world, and by virtue of that, the world enlarges and enriches the university, the experience and prospects of its students, and opportunities available to its faculty.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Research and teaching stood out to Principal Deane as conduits through which Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s can strive to offer the highest benefit. He highlighted needs for targeted investment, new budget models, more interdisciplinary partnerships, increased capacity, and deeper integrations between research and curriculums.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Our goal cannot be 카지노 게임 컬렉션research prominence카지노 게임 컬렉션 as we have rather vacantly articulated it in recent years,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he writes, 카지노 게임 컬렉션but something much greater and more inspiring: to make a positive difference for humanity and the world we inhabit.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The next steps

Principal Deane shared his 12-page Report on the Conversation university-wide on Oct. 9, 2020, kicking off the next phase of a continued conversation. The campus community will now have an opportunity to review and comment on his assessment to ensure it accurately reflects the voices and desires of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s stakeholders, as well as to spur further dialogue that will bring the university closer to a new vision and strategic framework for the future.
