• People
• Products
• Partnerships
• Process

Basic to our success in achieving our mission and reaching our vision are shared values. We believe the following values are essential ingredients for success:

• People. The quality of the faculty, students and staff comprises the strength of our University. We invest in people and seek potential in all those who enter our learning environment.
• Products. The education we impart and our original contributions to knowledge are the products of our University. We deliver high quality products when our graduates hold a lifelong attachment to learning, and when our research, scholarship and creative works increase the intellectual capital of our province, nation and world.
• Partnerships. The relationships that link people from different areas of knowledge bind our learning community with commonalities of intellectual interests. Collaboration with groups outside the University puts our talents to use on behalf of society. We seek links with those who share our values and who will work with us to build Manitoba's future.
• Process. The character of our university community is made complex by the mix of differing domains of knowledge, inquiry and instruction that exists in our Faculties, by our location on two campuses, and by our size. We respect the character of our University, and aim to develop systems which are not only efficient and effective, but are also congruent with our ideals of academic community.
