����vlog���� is a leading postsecondary educational institution with a reputation for offering high quality programs at the baccalaureate degree, graduate, diploma and certificate levels.

Our students, faculty, staff and alumni share a passion for our school. Hardworking, ambitious and compassionate: that approach, that culture, is what ����vlog���� is all about. We also constantly look for ways to improve and innovate.

We’re building a different kind of school with a different kind of graduate, and we are changing the way people think about colleges. Our world needs leaders who make a difference at work and in the community. By providing inspired learning, innovative opportunities and great student experiences, our graduates will be those leaders.

Our values describe ����vlog����ns at our very best. They connect us, underpin the work we do, and the way we interact with each other and the world.

While we will always be flexible in our approach, we never compromise on quality, standards and results.

From the day our first students walked through our doors in 1967, we understood that the world is in constant evolution. We are always improving, innovating and looking ahead.

We build bridges and networks within our college, to our community and across the world. And we give back, building and strengthening the communities where we live and work.

����vlog���� celebrates its extraordinary diversity as an enriching strength and a competitive advantage in today’s global economy.

2017-18 marked an important milestone for ����vlog���� as we celebrated our 50th year. Along with this momentous anniversary came various developments, opportunities and challenges for which we rose to the occasion.

����vlog���� introduced the 2017-2022 Strategic Plan that renewed our high-level direction and set long-term goals to bring our vision to life. Recognizing the importance of our foundational work of providing a great teaching and learning experience rooted in an advanced applied, broad-based education, the plan highlights the need for ����vlog���� to continue to evolve in exciting ways to serve new markets, a changing world of work and an expanding definition of student.

With preparations nearing completion for the openings of Magna Hall at King Campus and the Centre for Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship (CITE) at Newnham Campus, we announced ����vlog����2020 – the largest series of program and department moves in our history.

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of Ontario’s college system, ����vlog���� received $4.6M from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) in support of our legacy projects. With this funding, ����vlog���� is revitalizing the School of Aviation’s fleet of aircraft, building a new Indigenous student space for First Peoples@����vlog����, creating a broadcast centre for our journalism students and expanding our student tablet and laptop loaning program.

Following the introduction of our 2017-2020 Strategic Mandate Agreement with MTCU, ����vlog���� successfully responded to a proposal to fund the innovative hub-and-spoke student mobility model with other Ontario colleges. This funding will support ����vlog����’s three-year project to develop joint credentials and student supports.

With the passing of the��Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act��(Bill 148), ����vlog���� identified additional operating costs and developed a mitigation strategy, presenting projections for both to government.

The province-wide academic strike lasted five weeks in the fall. ����vlog���� dedicated resources across the institution to mitigate the impact of the strike, including providing support for our students, and developing strike contingency and academic completion plans for when classes resumed. We were pleased that 57.6 per cent of the students who withdrew from their program because of the strike re-enrolled in a ����vlog���� program.

����vlog���� uses an integrated process for business planning and budgeting to support the goals and commitments set out in our Strategic and Academic plans and Strategic Mandate Agreement. This approach ensures clear expectations and consistent information collection across the institution, while also allowing the flexibility to adapt to the changing landscape of higher education.

The 2017-18 Annual Report highlights our achievements and the accomplishments of our students, alumni, faculty and staff throughout the year.

In June 2017, the Board of Governors approved the 2017-2022 Strategic Plan, and 2017-18 marked a transitional year between the two strategic plans. The following key indicators and objectives stem from and frame the 2012-2017 Strategic Plan and mark the final report back from this transformational period in ����vlog����’s history.

����vlog���� continues its work to be the preferred partner for colleges and universities, offering innovative pathways for students in Ontario.
