It is a time of both transition and endurance. We are implementing a collective vision that recognizes how the needs of our community are changing—just as our hometown, our country and our world are changing, too. At the same time, we draw strength from knowing that our fundamental values have evolved over the last 200 years and are well anchored in our community. We love learning and discovery. We embrace challenge, and are committed to excellence. We explore new ways of looking at the world, and search for sustainable approaches to how we live and work. We act on our deep responsibility to use our knowledge to serve that world.
Together, we are building a future that is open, connected, and purposeful. We are proud of who we are, and excited about
what McGill is becoming.
