He added: “As a federated partner and a participant in the strategic planning process, we are pleased that the outcomes in this important document dovetail with Thorneloe University’s vision, mission, values and priorities. Together, the Laurentian University and Thorneloe University strategic plans provide a solid foundation on which to build for the future.”
