| Mid-level Plan | Overall placement of CE |
| Research Strategy | The research strategy identifies that UBC research is increasingly undertaken in partnership with external communities. For research to have its maximum impact, and to become a world leader in knowledge exchange and mobilization, researchers must connect and collaborate with external communities. |
| Community Feedback | Collate and analyze ongoing feedback from community about engagement experiences with UBC so we know how the university is perceived and what common issues exist. |
| Student Learning | The student experience supports the development of CE through enriched student learning experiences and students’ engagement in their communities and internationally. |
| Aboriginal Strategic Plan | The Aboriginal strategic plan embeds significant and thoughtful engagement with internal and external communities, through formal and informal channels. CE is a significant part of the work of Aboriginal Engagement. |
| Alumni Affairs Strategic Plan | Alumni are welcome and valued stakeholders of UBC. Alumni contribute to UBC as volunteers, convey UBC’s contributions to economic and social vitality, and build UBC’s presence in communities locally, nationally and internationally. Alumni engagement builds a culture of engagement at UBC. |
| The Intercultural Promise | Intercultural understanding is a ‘way of being’ that supports community engagement, as evidenced through many CE initiatives that involve intercultural understanding. |
| International Strategy | The International Strategy articulates UBC’s connections with international communities. Part of that work is building on existing relationships and seeking out new partnerships in which the benefits flow both ways. |
| Outstanding Work Environment | The Outstanding Work Environment strategy aims to build a positive workplace experience for staff, including opportunities to participate in community-engaged programs such as the Community Leadership Program and Leave for Change. |
| Sustainability Strategies | Sustainability strategies, through local and global partnerships, enable UBC to act as an agent of change. Sustainability approaches develop the concept of UBC as a ‘living lab’. |
