Following are potential tools and activities that the Community Partnership/Engagement Units (Vancouver and Okanagan) could use to support the implementation of the UBC CE Strategy.
| Tool | Purpose |
| Principles of CE | Support the development of shared principles or values related to CE across UBC, including tools and processes that encourage a critical lens on CE work. |

| Stories, celebration, communication | Work with those engaged in CE and communications staff to celebrate, publicize and share existing CE work across campus. |
| Institutional navigation | Maintain an open door to internal and external communities; develop a digital hub to support both external and internal communities looking to understand the CE work happening across campus; support external communities to navigate UBC. |
| Strategic Partnerships | Identify opportunities for institutional partnership with specific groups that have a strategic link to UBC’s vision/mission. |
| Advocacy | Build campus capacity for engagement; advocate for support for CE initiatives within UBC and beyond. |
