Message from the President

Our vision is to enable our students to acquire a first-rate, well-rounded education, to provide our employees with an excellent working environment, and to serve the needs of communities in this province and around the world.

Examples of our key actions towards that vision in 2001-02 included new multi-million dollar partnerships – with Inco Ltd. to create the Inco Innovation Centre on our St. John’s campus and with universities and industry in Atlantic Canada to undertake research on petroleum, marine and health issues with the support of the Atlantic Innovation Fund.
