Cover of strat plan

The Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation at the University of Alberta
has been dedicated to improving the quality of life and the health of our
communities through physical activity, sport and recreation for more than 50
years.

Building on our contributions and reputation, we have completed a five-year
strategic plan that reflects the needs and opportunities identified by the
talented staff and faculty members who encompass our Faculty. This plan
emphasizes learning and discovery as essential in all Faculty centres and
units; outstanding research achievements; working together to succeed
through multi-disciplinary initiatives and stakeholder collaborations; a diverse
and engaged student body on campus and from afar; and, innovative
programs and learning opportunities across the lifespan.

This strategic plan is designed to position the Faculty as a recognized expert
in physical activity, sport and recreation, and a respected partner in advancing
health and wellbeing of individuals, communities and society as a whole. We
will use this plan as the basis of ongoing work throughout the entire Faculty -
Academics, Athletics and Campus & Community Recreation - to help us
continue to contribute to the communities we serve.

Vision
Outstanding achievements in learning, discovery and citizenship that
contribute to quality of life and the health of our communities through
physical activity, sport and recreation.

Mission
The Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation creates and shares the best
understandings and applications of physical activity, sport and recreation for
the public good.
