CURI is excited to announce the release its strategic plan for 2011-2013. The plan sets out CURI’s mission, vision, values, objectives and implementation strategies for achieving positive change and long-term sustainability. Although the challenge of achieving sustainable development is complex and multi-layered, university investment decision makers and their stakeholders have a vital role to play in achieving this objective, particularly if they can act effectively within their own sphere of influence. As such, our approach is underpinned by a commitment to multi-stakeholder dialogue and responsiveness. Please click here to learn more about CURI’s approach and plan of action over the coming year.
