McGill’s strength has always been its people: the
people who built the University over the course
of nearly 200 years, and the people who are now
building its future. The McGill community is broad
and diverse. We are students. We are professors.
We are staff . We are alumni. We are partners and friends. Some
of us, myself included, proudly fall into more than one of these
groups. But, as wonderfully diverse as we are, as diff erent as
our “McGill experiences” may be, we are united by shared values
and goals.
Message from
the Principal
04
We share the joy of learning, of creativity, of discovery. We
share a commitment to excellence and our love of challenge. We
share a sense of responsibility to better our society through the
work we do. We share the privilege of being part of a great and
unique university in one of the world’s most creative cities.
And we share a clear sense of purpose and direction. As you
will see in the 2014 Annual Report, McGill is open to new ideas, to
diff erent ways of looking at the world, to cultural and human
diversity, to new ways of doing things. We are working toward a
university that is more connected: across disciplines, across
sectors, across geography. We are committed to being purposeful
in how we learn, and in how we put that learning to use.
A� er extensive community consultations this past year, we are
focusing our talents and creativity on fi ve priority areas—student
life and learning, research and creativity, community engagement,
our work culture, and transforming our physical and virtual
campus—in order to best meet the changing needs of our students,
faculty and staff , and of Quebec, Canada and the world. Together,
we are implementing a collective vision for a McGill that is open,
connected and purposeful.
Bonne lecture,
