Exploring History of Place Through Inclusive Planning and Programming

The growth of the University of Calgary’s Veterinary Medicine program has been a catalyst for several initiatives on campus, including the development of a long-range plan, creation of an inclusive program, and the development of micro degrees. The process of engagement, programming, and design at Vet Med is critical to understanding the urgent needs of the profession and students while being mindful and respectful of the history of place and the indigenous community.

This session shows how connecting the history of place at a campus master planning and programming level fosters opportunities, success, health, and wellbeing for each student.

Learning outcomes:

  1. Initiate meaningful conversations early on in the planning and programming process and explore opportunities to prioritize heritage, diversity, and wellbeing.
  2. Use programming tools to gain an early understanding of project needs while inviting storytelling and ceremony into the process.
  3. Identify opportunities for student, faculty and staff inclusion, connection and wellness.
  4. Find alignment between planning objectives and long-term ecological health and sustainability goals.
