The South Campus Academic Plan, “Cultivating Place”, was presented to the UBC-Vancouver Senate on the evening of Wednesday, December 16th, 2009. This presentation completes the delivery of this plan to UBC’s high-level governing bodies, leading to further refinements in its status as a “living document” shared online for feedback, and in the development of more detailed implementation plans in 2010.

Following the successful completion of the Sustainability Academic Strategy, and the pending wrap-up of the sas.ubc.ca site, the south campus academic plan has moved to its new location. This will serve as a space for dialogue and as a repository for some of the supporting material that shaped the plan’s development.
