Gabriela Digesu, a third-year BScN student, reviews the Faculty of Nursing’s new strategic plan, eager to see it in action as she prepares to wrap up the Winter term.
The Faculty of Nursing has launched its strategic plan, Advancing Nursing and Health Care: Education, Research, and Partnership, aligning with the University’s Aspire plan.
Introduced at the beginning of January, the plan was developed through an inclusive process incorporating more than 6,100 data points, ideas, and suggestions from students, staff, faculty, and community partners. It builds on recent achievements while charting a sustainable path forward.
With six strategic priorities guiding decision-making through 2025 and beyond, the faculty is committed to advancing nursing education, research, and practice while continuously adapting to the evolving needs of the profession.
“I am thrilled to move forward with our ambitious and strategic plan that was built on a foundation of our faculty’s hard work,” says Debbie Sheppard-LeMoine, dean of the Faculty of Nursing. “This plan will inspire new conversations and ways of collaborating while shaping a bright future for our students, faculty, health-care system, and the community.”
The plan begins with a launch phase lasting until fall 2025, establishing infrastructure, refining processes, and implementing initial initiatives. Subsequent phases will align objectives with the academic calendar, integrate budgeting, and evaluate progress. Regular reviews will include faculty council updates every six months and annual impact reports.
This evolving plan ensures UWindsor nursing remains a leader in education, research, and health-care innovation, says Dr. Sheppard-LeMoine: “By fostering meaningful collaboration, supporting students and faculty, and investing in growth, the faculty is positioning itself for a stronger, more transformative future.”
