Rooted in our vision of building a more just, sustainable and prosperous world through innovation and responsible leadership, our new strategic plan was formulated through dialogue and collaboration with the UBC Sauder community and represents a shared vision for advancing the School to even greater levels of excellence and impact.

“I am proud of the way our community has come together to create a shared vision for our school. I am deeply grateful to all of the students, staff, alumni, and faculty who contributed their perspectives and ideas to this effort, and I look forward to working together as we move into implementation.”

- Dean Darren Dahl

RBC Financial Group Professor of Entrepreneurship
