       Strategic Planning Frameworks
          The McGill Academic Plan is based on the 3 Core Ideas of the Principal’s 
          Priorities : McGill University is Open, Connected, and Purposeful
           
          •   Open to new ideas, other ways of looking at the world; open to cultural and 
              human diversity; open to new ways of doing things;
          •   Connected to its local and global community; connected across disciplines, 
              boundaries of geography and sectors; and
          •   Imbued with a clear sense of purpose, because what we do – learning, 
              using and advancing knowledge, exploring new paths in knowledge – has 
              never mattered more to our community and our world.
