Posted on April 10: Draft Refining Directions report now online

A draft Refining Directions report is now online. Click here to view the report.

McMaster has spent the past six months reviewing its strategic plans through a process called Refining Directions. A number of work teams with representatives from across campus were created in the fall and they spent the next few months working on recommendations in six areas: undergraduate education; graduate education and research;
external activities; internal community; planning and managing; and
branding.

The process has been overseen by a steering committee that has now
reviewed the recommendations from each work group along with input from two rounds of community consultation and presentations to the University Planning Committee and approximately 25 other groups on campus.

Input and comments on the draft report are welcome and can be forwarded to refining@mcmaster.ca.

Over the next month, additional town hall meetings and consultation will be held on the draft report. Details of these sessions will be provided once the times and locations are confirmed.

A final document will be presented to Senate in May and the Board of Governors in June.
