Principal's welcome

For more than 185 years, McGill has distinguished itself as one of the world's great public universities, renowned for outstanding students, professors and alumni, for achievement in teaching and research, and for its distinctive international character and reach.
One of McGill's defining strengths continues to be its unwavering commitment to excellence and a willingness to be judged by the highest standards in the world. And by these standards, McGill has excelled far beyond any reasonable expectations. We have produced a disproportionate number of Nobel laureates, medical pioneers and world-famous leaders in all walks of life — remarkable individuals who have shaped the course of this country and of history itself.
Today, McGill is one of Canada's leading research universities and ranked as one of the top 25 universities in the world. I have had the honour of serving as Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill since 2003. This represents a unique privilege, and one that carries with it the responsibility to expand McGill's spectacular record of achievement.
McGill is superbly positioned to do ever better in fulfilling its mission to advance knowledge through research-led teaching, scholarship and service to society. We have developed a plan which charts an ambitious course to build on our academic and institutional strengths and enhance support for students for the future. With the generous support of governments and donors, we will continue to recruit the best minds and provide them with the resources they need to excel. In doing so, our goal is to advance McGill even further into the top ranks of the world's very best public universities.
For our students, who are at the core of all that we do, McGill is more than an excellent education. It is a critical time of personal and intellectual discovery and growth, and one that helps shape their understanding of the world. It is essential that our students can take full advantage of their time at McGill. To this end, I established the Principal's Task Force on Student Life and Learning, which has already seen significant progress made in enhancing the services and support we provide our students.
There is no greater cause in this world than the advancement of education and knowledge. McGill makes a distinctive and critical difference in today's world through its research and discovery, its international character and by educating leaders for tomorrow.
McGill is an outstanding university, becoming even better. I invite you, either in person or through this Web site, to discover this remarkable community.
Heather Munroe-Blum,
Principal and Vice-Chancellor
