Mission

  • The mission identifies what we are doing now and what we will be doing in the future (type of activities); it is our anchor.
  • The University’s mission is, above all, societal; it serves the common good.

The Université de l’Ontario français, Toronto’s only French-language university, develops committed talent, and actively contributes to the well-being of the community through its innovative teaching and research approach, while remaining focused on responsible and sustainable socio‑economic development.

Vision

  • The vision explains what we aspire to become in a few years’ time. It goes beyond our day-to-day activities and mission; it is our North Star.

The University is a reference in Canada’s minority-language context, and its influence extends from the local to the international level.

Values

  • Values describe our organizational culture, and build our collective identity. They represent the behaviours we favour and that positively underpin our interactions, decisions, and actions, both internally and externally. They are, in a way, our behavioural compass.
  • Commitment: We are committed to responsible and sustainable socio-economic development with our students, staff, partners, community, and province.
  • Audacity: We contribute with conviction, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit to the excellence and the growth of the University.
  • Diversity and Inclusion: We advocate for a just society, open-mindedness, and respect, and celebrate what diverse skills, experiences, backgrounds, and ideas can bring to the table.
  • Open Francophonie: We value the French language in all its richness, evolving in minority language contexts and building bridges between Francophone, Anglophone, Francophile, bilingual, and multilingual communities.
