VISION

"To be one of Canada's outstanding universities, respected for our knowledge of the world, for our understanding of the complexities of our province in its cultural, socioeconomic and scientific dimensions, and for advancing and disseminating knowledge in all domains, but especially in those that contribute to the social and economic development of Manitoba."

Approved by the Board of Governors 21 May 1998, as recommended by the Task Force on Strategic Planning.We believe that the University of Manitoba will be a leader among Canadian universities as it becomes known for meeting challenges while it advances knowledge and understanding. We will not only be the oldest of western Canada's universities, we will also be among the best of Canada's universities. We will be respected for our knowledge of the world and for our understanding of the complexities of our prairie region in its cultural, socioeconomic and scientific dimensions, which we will articulate according to international standards of science and scholarship. We will be recognized for our centrality in the development of Manitoba's knowledge-based society in a knowledge-based global economy.

We will attain our vision by:

  • providing outstanding education in undergraduate and selected professional and graduate areas;
  • producing research, scholarship and creative work that is recognized internationally, nationally and locally;
  • providing an equitable environment focused on learning;
  • enhancing a strong tradition of community and professional service.
