To strengthen undergraduate education by improving the quality and real-world relevance of student learning.

To demonstrate student achievement to policy makers, families, and other stakeholders.

Why?

ILOsThe abilities that all UFV students can demonstrate upon completing their studies

A collective and democratic year-long exercise that included input from faculty, staff and students as well as the local community.

How?

By developing our ILOs on our own terms, we are out in front.

Based on our own educational values and those of the students and community members of the Fraser Valley.

Emphasis on the overall student experience.

Integration of service areas with academic areas in a shared mission.

Focus becomes the whole student.

With dedicated work and volunteers, outcomes submitted were reviewed, collated, refined and reassessed, voted on and revised.

Process was begun by our forward-thinking Provost, the ILOs were determined by the entire UFV community.

Indigenization
