As the university focuses on areas of equity, diversity and inclusivity; research prominence; undergraduate and graduate student experience; and internationalization, the Faculty of Arts and Science is an integral component and important leader in these areas. But is that all? How will we enhance our efforts? What areas and issues are important to you and the Faculty?
The Faculty of Arts and Science is embarking on a strategic planning exercise building on the successes of the Faculty and, based on input from students, faculty, staff, and the Dean’s Council, to facilitate a common vision and a strategic plan we can all work towards – together.
The Strategic Plan will articulate a common vision of what success for the Faculty of Arts and Science looks like five years from now, and identify what the Faculty needs to focus on for the next three years to get there.
For questions related to the process please contact: Heather Woermke, Executive Director of Finance and Operations of Arts and Science at stratplanFAS@queensu.ca.
The proposed timeline for the Strategic Plan is presented below. This is a guideline only, and may need to be adjusted based on input and feedback received from the community.

The purpose of the Strategic Planning Working Group (SPWG) is to develop, on behalf of and in consultation/collaboration with all at the Faculty of Arts and Science, a 2019-2022 strategic plan for the Faculty. In doing so, the SPWG will look to build upon the University’s mission and vision, as well as identify key strategic goals and actions that the Faculty should focus on, at a Faculty-wide level, over the next 3 years.
