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,
