A New Sports Strategic Plan at the Université de Moncton
The Université de Moncton’s new Sports Strategic Plan is leading the way to raise the nine elite men’s’ and women’s teams in five competitive sports to new heights.
This Plan is a renewed commitment toward academic and sporting achievements for student athletes as a measure of success. “We plan to offer an environment, performance support services and an enhanced, even superior, experience to the concurrent university programs,” announced interim President and Vice-Chancellor Jacques Paul Couturier.
The Strategic Plan calls for the development and deployment of a funding plan that includes efforts to generate more revenue from the community. These income streams include sponsorships, charitable donations, various products and public funding to support student athletes.
“Increased engagement from the university community, the alumni network, partners, the business world and the public toward our sports teams will be key to achieving this Strategic Plan,” Mr. Couturier added.
The Physical and Sports Activity Department has been charged with implementing the strategies identified in the 2020-2025 Sports Strategic Plan. “The team has already started working on a number of actions to establish the strategies in the Strategic Plan,” said the Department’s Director, Marc Boudreau.
