Governance

Good governance is critical to academic quality. Our institution has a bicameral system of governance, similar to that in place at public Canadian universities, consisting of a Board of Governors and an Academic Council.

The Board is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the university, including fiduciary, legal, and financial responsibility. Its membership includes senior university leadership, distinguished community members, and experienced higher education professionals.

Vision

Our vision is innovative education and research for a digital world. Academic programs are aligned to meet the needs of business and industry, providing students with the skills and knowledge needed now and for the future.
