Reports

Carleton University is guided by a suite of strategic plans and reports that shape our future. From the Strategic Integrated Plan to strategies for research, sustainability, equity and student success, these frameworks drive innovation, excellence and community impact. Explore the key initiatives that strengthen Carleton’s leadership in education, research and engagement.

Strategic Integrated Plan

Following extensive consultation, the Strategic Integrated Plan (SIP) was approved by Carleton’s Senate and Board of Governors in the spring of 2020.

Inspired by the unique triangular shape of the beautiful Carleton campus, the SIP outlines three strategic directions:

• Share Knowledge, Shape the Future
• Serve Ottawa, Serve the World
• Strive for Wellness, Strive for Sustainability

The SIP lays out an ambitious vision for the future, fully anchored in Carleton’s strengths and student-centric, community-engaged values.

Read our beautifully designed Strategic Integrated Plan and the Strategic Integrated Plan Progress Update 2023.
