Priorities and commitments form a framework to establish strategies for success. Strategies were determined by asking: “How do we meet our commitments in each priority?”
FOR EXAMPLE, WE ASK:
- “How do we lead by example in Planetary health?”
- “How do we act with intention as the University for the future?”
In the end, many of these strategies impact multiple priorities, but may differ in the context in which they are implemented.
