University College of the North has set the direction they want to go in with their new five year strategic plan.  Their Director of Communications Jim Scott says the plan includes four strategic directions including being student centered.  He explains how their students feel, what they think, they want to get graded by the students on what kind of an institution they have, that’s a goal they’re going to work hard on over the next little while.  He says they’re going to acknowledge and make sure they honor their students and their alumni’s accomplishments as they have a lot of stars and it’s important that they make sure the rest of the world gets to know about the great things that are happening at UCN.

  The three other strategic directions are northern and aboriginal culture, innovative and responsive education, and trades and industrial skills.
