3100+ responses to our campus-wide survey, 75+ action planning group members, 300+ participants at two town hall eventsWe are grateful for the time, insights, and commitment shared by community members throughout this process. Your contributions have been essential in shaping this work. If you have questions or would like to learn more, please feel free to connect with us.


Steering Committee and Campus Community Partners

Western’s Future of Teaching and Learning Strategic Action Areas are supported through strong partnerships and contributions from across the university community.

Oversight is provided by the Future of Teaching and Learning Steering Committee, which is responsible for guiding progress, as well as monitoring and reporting on implementation. The Committee brings together representatives from a cross-section of academic and administrative leadership across campus, as well as the Office of Indigenous Initiatives, the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. It meets regularly to review progress and provide strategic direction.

This collaborative model is designed to support the effective adoption and implementation of the Strategic Action Areas across all Faculties.
