The Université de Moncton
is the largest French-language university
outside Quebec. Created in 1963, it comprises
three campuses. They are located in
Edmundston, Moncton and Shippagan, New
Brunswick. The institution offers a range of
study programs at the three university levels
to respond to the needs of the population
it serves. It provides its services to the vast
French-speaking diaspora across Canada,
making it the most important symbol
of linguistic and cultural vitality for the
Francophone population living outside
Quebec. It attracts a number of international
students from nearly forty countries.
Leadership
Message from the president and vice-chancellor
It is with pride in our successes and conscious of our challenges that we move
toward 2020 with optimism and resolve.
Our strategic plan, adopted in 2013, is the roadmap that helps us focus on 2020.
“A dream to call our own” is an ambitious strategic plan that states our priorities
and calls us to action. It focuses on the following key areas: engagement, good
governance, education, research and internationalization.
To be accountable and transparent, our executive team has established an action
plan based on the key areas of the strategic plan. Results are published annually
on our website at
.
The dream that we dared to imagine three years ago is taking shape. The 2015-
2016 Annual Report highlights five important projects and other achievements
that reflect the energy, the creativity and the leadership that brings the university
community to life at each of our campuses. You will see for yourself that the
2015-2016 year was rich in achievements.
We have made the commitment to put forward our potential for research,
development and innovation in the years to come. We will make investments in
major projects along with partners. According to Canada’s Innovation Leaders
2015, the Université de Moncton was one of the Top 50 research universities in
Canada last year.
In closing, I want to thank our students, our professors, our staff members,
our graduates as well as our ambassadors in the community.
I also salute the contribution of our chancellor, of the Board of Governors’ chair and
members and of the Academic Senate members, as well as that of my colleagues
on the executive team. I feel privileged to be able to count on your support.
