Office of Institutional Commitments
At UCalgary, our commitment to driving meaningful change is embedded in everything we do. The Office of Institutional Commitments (OIC) unites our efforts to advance Community Mental Health and Well-being (CMHW); Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA); and Sustainability under one integrated framework.
- The reimagined structure supports transdisciplinary leadership on campus and improves the connectivity and responsiveness of administrative teams with the campus community.
- Shared capacity in planning, communications, events, and administration supports the work of academic directors in each of these institutional commitments.
- The foundational commitment to CMHW, EDIA, Sustainability and along with Indigenous Engagement and Global Engagement, is unchanged and remains strong.
Under the leadership of Provost Sandra Davidson, the unit supports our commitment to Ahead of Tomorrow, our strategic plan to make the processes clearer, simpler and better than any university by 2030.
