The SDG Mapping Project

KPU underwent a thorough mapping exercise to identify SDG-related practices at the University. The focus of this exercise was to decipher the number of KPU courses and academic programs within KPU's seven faculties that were aligned with the SDGs. The project used a "whole of university" approach by undertaking thorough campus community engagement to identify connects between the SDGs and KPU's courses, programs, research, services, operations, and policies. In person consultations at all five campuses, faculty-specific meetings, and meetings with employees across KPU consisted of the majority of community engagement.
