Message from the President
As we look ahead to the next chapter of the University of the Fraser Valley, we are undertaking a thoughtful refresh of our Integrated Strategic Plan—one that reflects both who we are today and who we aspire to become.
This work builds on the foundation of Íyáqáwtxw — House of Transformation, our current plan, and is being led through the President’s Office in collaboration with consultant Lorne Mackenzie, Professor Emeritus and retired Associate Professor in the School of Business. Grounded in meaningful engagement with our students, faculty, staff, alumni, partners, and communities, this process invites us to listen carefully, learn from one another, and shape a shared path forward.
At UFV, we are proud to be known as a Changemaker Campus — one that empowers learners to make a meaningful difference in their lives, in their communities, and in the world. This refreshed plan will carry forward the spirit of transformation that defines Íyáqáwtxw, while strengthening our role as a university that is deeply connected, responsive, and future focused.
Our mission of engaging learners, transforming lives, and building community remains at the heart of this work. As we move forward, we will continue to advance our values of community, inclusivity, excellence, and integrity, while deepening our commitment to Reconciliation, sustainability, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
The success of this plan will depend on all of us. It will take collaboration, curiosity, and a shared sense of purpose to bring it to life. I am inspired by the care and insight our community continues to bring to this process, and I look forward to the possibilities ahead as we shape UFV’s future — together.
Dr. James Mandigo
President and Vice-Chancellor
