This feedback informed the priorities illustrated in the plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Brock brings the Institutional Strategic Plan to life, it recognizes that reconciliation, Indigenization and decolonization must be integral to that direction. The Indigenous Strategic Plan translates that commitment into a clear vision for advancing Indigenous education and nurturing resilient relationships into the future,\u201d says Cote-Meek. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to be sharing the plan with the Brock community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brock will take a significant step forward in advancing truth and reconciliation with the launch of its inaugural Indigenous Strategic Plan (ISP) \u2014 a roadmap that will guide the University\u2019s ongoing commitment to fostering a more inclusive and equitable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99,"featured_media":111804,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,6833,1],"tags":[15267,15268,15266,11306,12386,4828,13897],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111803"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/99"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111803"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111803\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":111805,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111803\/revisions\/111805"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
