Our strategy statement, Elevating Impact, is intended to communicate the Sobey School’s strategy to everyone within our organization. Elevating Impact summarizes our strategic purpose and conveys our shared ambition. It encapsulates our brand, our purpose, our strategic goals and objectives. 

Consider Elevating Impact as the strategic directive of our entire organization—our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners. This directive includes focusing our organization’s attention on the need to make an impact, inspiring our people by demonstrating that their efforts are meaningful, encouraging individual and group participation and contribution, and directing resources to fulfil our key strategic objective.

Elevating Impact­—it is why we exist and why we will thrive in an increasingly complex and competitive landscape.
