Statement of Mission

(Excerpt)

As an undergraduate, liberal arts university, the University of Sudbury is committed to foster and to develop in its students the desire and the ability to undertake for themselves humanity`s perennial quest for ultimate meaning. The courses and programmes offered by the University of Sudbury will be such as not only to record, but to foster, in a contemporary setting, the search for Truth.

As a university situated in Northeastern Ontario, the University of Sudbury is committed to the official cultural bilingualism of the region by the provision of courses and programmes both in the French and the English languages, insofar as enrolment warrants and by a dedication to the development of the cultural aspirations of the Anglophone and Francophone communities through an involvement in the life of these communities.

As a university committed to the preservation and development of the culture, traditions of the Native Peoples of Northeastern Ontario, the University of Sudbury is committed to the provision to both Native and Non-Native students of Laurentian University of courses and programmes destined to the furthering of an awareness of, and appreciation for, the Native world-view.

Situated in a religiously and culturally pluralistic society, the University of Sudbury acknowledges this diversity and is committed to promote inter-faith dialogue and ecumenism. Through this cultural reciprocity, the University of Sudbury will seek to cultivate and nurture Christian students in the Roman Catholic tradition. This commitment will be doubly expressed: by the provision of an integral humanistic and religious education; and by its involvement, through the promotion of, and participation in various related projects and activities.
